Countdown timer in numbers for iPad

Is it possible to create countdown timers for a numbers spreadsheet in ios7 (iPad)?

Hi,
Numbers recalculates only when there is a change to the table, usually new input. With Numbers for Mac, that can be accomplished with an applescript including a loop which continually flips a cell between TRUE and FALSE (or another pair of values), triggering a recalculation of the table. the script contnues the loop, monitoring the remaining duration, and stops when the 'count' reaches 0s.
Whether that's transferable to iOS, I don't know.
I've requested this discussion be transferred to the iWork for iOS community.
Regards,
Barry

I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere.

No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

Using Forms in Numbers for iPad

Although Forms for the iPad may seem to be a great interface between the user and the spreadsheet, it has a few significant drawbacks under it's present design.
When using predefined records and catagories to prompt a user for input, one runs into problems when the user inadvertantly presses the delete key (within the form). This would delete a predefined record and thus rendering it usesless for any further input, and subsequent deletions would eventually delete all the predefined records.
As a workaround I re-arranged the input table to have one record only, using the categories (table columns) to input the relevant information via Pop-up Menus. Although this single record remains after pushing the delete button, the information within the record is somehow corupted, causing reference problems down the line. For instance, using the content of these records with the VLOOKUP function to find data within other tables, a #REF! error is caused because the relevant record was corrupted.
How could I disable the delete key within Forms, or alternatively save the data from deletion within the records?
Is there perhaps a way of error trapping within VLOOKUP ?
As an alternative, I tried a normal table to input the user information, and where I used Pop-up Menus it's was fine, but when inputing numeric values it would be a pain for the user to have to double tap with every numeric input. I would prefer to use Forms if possible.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I have submitted an enhancement request via Apple's iPad feedback and hoping that future versions of Numbers for iPad would have the ability to password protect table cells, and also have the abilty to disable the delete function within Forms.
Would appreciate any further halp on a possble workaround in the mean time.
Thanks

Using Voiceover in Numbers for iPad

I am a blind iPad Mini user looking for the correct gestures for using the Numbers App with VoiceOver. I am not understanding how to navigate the spreadsheets or make changes in them. Does anyone know of a good resource for this? All the ones I have found online are not specific to the Numbers App.

How can I insert an image into a cell in Numbers for iPad?

Hi,
is there any way to insert an image inside a cell using Numbers for iPad? I tried doing it on desktop version and it works, then I shared it through iwork.com and downloaded into my iPad and it's showing fine on the iPad ( although there's no way to edit or change the image inside the cell ) but when I try to do the same task on iPad itself, the image always comes floating even if I place the cursor inside a cell before inserting.
any idea how to do it or if it's even possible?
thanks.
John

Images can be added to cells only as "image fill." Cell fill is an attribute of the cell, not content of the cell. Only cell content can be retrieved by a formula or by copying the content of the cell.
Copying the cell will also copy its format, including the image fill, but I've found no way to extract the image from the cell.

Barry

How do I add multiple rows in Numbers for iPad?

how do I add multiple rows in Numbers for iPad?

Hi James,
On the iPod I can only insert what is on the clipboard but I can insert however many rows I have there. Is it working differently for you? Benjoon seemed to think that he could not do this in Numbers. He was ruling Numbers out because of it. He doesn't need to do that because of this issue.
If I was needing to insert multiple blank rows often I might keep a table of blank rows or just some blank rows at the end of the working table that I could copy/paste. This is no different than Numbers on the Mac.

Adding trendline in Numbers for iPad

Can I add trendlines for my charts in Numbers for iPad?

Don't type the two letters "nu" but the three "ios" ones.
You will get two entries :
iMovie for iOS
and
iWork for iOS (which is ridiculous because this product doesn't exist).
Clicking on this late entry you will enter a community grouping questions upon the three apps.
Click the button "Refine this list" to restrict to Numbers.
I already asked the forum staff to change this odd behavior so that
typing nu offer Numbers 4 iOS
as well as Numbers 4 mac OS
And of course, same request for Keynote and Pages.
Wait and see.

There is no filter function in numbers for ipad,its very discouraging,as a ipad fan,even nokia lumia providing filter in there low cost mobile

there is no filter function in numbers for ipad,its very discouraging,as a ipad fan,even nokia lumia providing filter function in excel in there low cost mobile.
APPLE KINDLY PROVIDE THIS FEATURE AS UPDATE SOON,COZ I WORK ON EXCEL N NUMBERS IN MY IPAD IS DEAD WITH OUT FILTER FUNCTION,I CAN NOT TRAVEL WITH MY IPAD DUE TO THIS REASON,AS I HAVE TO BE IN FIELD WITH SALES FORCE SO I BOUGHT IPAD.

Probably you know that the new version of Numbers for iOS uses the filters created in the Numbers for Mac version.
It's not the best solution but it helps (of course, if you have a Mac!)

Sort a row in Numbers for iPad

I have a list of names along the header row of a table in Numbers for iPad. I'd like to put them in alphabetical order from left to right. Bearing in mind that I'm a newby to apple, could anyone help? (If I were using MS excel I'd use sort data and set it row)
I have considered transposing the row to a column and I can sort a column, but the transpose command is proving tricky (Again if I were using MS Excel I would use paste special transpose.)

Generally, you are more likely to get an answer if you post in the iWork for iOS forum at

Default cell format in Numbers for iPad

Is there a way to assure that when I insert a row in Numbers for iPad, that I get the text keyboard (and not the numbers keyboard) when I double-tap the cell to edit it?

As long as the row is formatted as text you will get the text keyboard and not the number, date or formula keyboard. Generally what happens when you insert a row it copies the format of the cell above.
I have only had trouble occasionally when using a form and the cell is not formatted the way I need it to be. Usually when that has happened I have been inserting and deleting rows in an almost random fashion.
When I am in the sheet itself it is easy to tap the "T" to get the text input.
