Deleting a table or a sheet in Numbers for iPad

Hi,
I think I must be getting fairly thick as I get older. I cannoy see how to delete a table or a sheet from a numbers worksheet. I have searched this forum but couldn't seem to turn up any discussions.
Andrew.

This issue puzzle me as well and I had settled for the answer posted here. This solution, however, just deletes the table but leaves the sheet.
To delete the sheet (and everything on it) single-tap the sheet name. A "Duplicate | Delete" menu will pop up and you're done!

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Cell Comments in Numbers for iPad

    I am thinking of buying the Numbers for iPad app (in spite of the frightening number of poor reviews of this product!) and am wondering if anybody knows whether or not Cell Comments transfer over from Numbers on the iMac to Numbers on the iPad.
    It seems that there are effectively two different pieces of software that share the same name but that the mobile version is very basic.
    Thanks!

  • Numbers for iPad.Can i change background color?

    When using spreadsheets in numbers for iPad,can I change the background color of the screen while leaving the table white.I want to have a few tables on one spreadsheet and leave the the tables white.Can I do this and change the screen color surrounding the table?

    (Numbers '09 answer, Numbers for iOS procedure may be similar.)
    In Numbers '09 the Sheet is white (period), You can, however, place a coloured shape on the Sheet, and apply your desired fill colou to that shap, then ruse the Arrange menu to Move it to the Back, then resize it and position it as needed to fill the background.

  • I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when i select the customer?

    I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
    iselect the customer?

    Hi bazza,
    We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
    First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
    Here is the formula in G2
    =CONCATENATE(B2&"
    ",C2&"
    ",D2&"
    ",E2)
    It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
    This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
    Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
    base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
    row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
    What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
    column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
    we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
    If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Dates in numbers for iPad 2

    I have see many complaints about Numbers for IPad not being able to handle dates very well, especially when in porting an Excel sheet. Is this a problem ?
    I have many Excel sheets that require dates, will I be able to use them ?
    Thanks

    Your friend was close, but forgot one thing. If you want it to be blank if either cell is MT, then you need an OR as well o test if either one or the other is blank...
    =IF(OR(ISBLANK(a1),ISBLANK(b1)),"",a1xb1)
    The isblank can also be represetned by ="" in many cases, usually accompanied with a trim to make sure there are no spaces were entered...
    =IF(OR(TRIM(a1)="",TRIM(b1)="")),"",a1xb1)
