How to I Make Footnotes in Numbers?

I'd like to add footnotes to a spreadsheet in Numbers but can't seem to find a way to do it. The dude at my One-on-One session said my only option is to use the comment feature but I find that hard to believe. Is that really the case? Footnotes are such a common feature in financial reports that I find it surprising that Apple wouldn't have built that functionality into the program. Any suggestions about how others add notes to charts or tables would be much appreciated.

Lagoldberg8397,
If you are talking about notes to the financial statements, not simply a few little footnotes, you should consider iWork as a suite of applications that work together. Spreadsheets are spreadsheets, they are meant to have tables and charts, not a lot of text. Pages is probably the better choice for the final document if these are financial statements with an actual set of "notes to the financial statements".
You can create your financial tables in Numbers and the notes in Pages then copy/paste the financial tables to Pages. That way the footnotes can flow across pages. The tables must be sized to fit correctly on the page or else they will get reformatted when pasted into Pages.
Alternatively, if you want the final document to be in Numbers, you can create the notes in Pages, copy them, then paste to the Numbers canvas and you'll get a text box. I would recommend copying the notes in sections so that each time you paste into Numbers you create a text box that will fit on a page.

How do you make footnotes in ibooks author

I have not been able to make footnotes nor does iBook import the footnote format from Word. This is frustrating since the software (iBooks) is intended for the creation of textbooks which contain many footnotes.

IBA doesn't support footnotes. The next-best thing would be to use numerical superscript references that you make hyperlinks to the notes. You should be able to select superscript as a character style in the font palette. Alternatively, use "[1]" as the footnote style and make the entire thing a hyperlink (including the angle brackets). This creates a larger target for tapping.
Be aware that, even if you do this, it will still be clumsy for the reader because iBooks does not have a "back" button. Once the reader follows a hyperlink, there is no way to easily get back to where the reader came from. For this reason, it's probably best to avoid internal hyperlinks and only use external ones (to web pages), because these links open in Safari, so the reader does not lose context.

How to add a footnote in Numbers 3.0?

Is it still possible to add a footnote in a document in Numbers 3.0.
Apperently that was poosible in the older version of Numbers.
If so, how?

Fernand,
I never noticed a Footnote feature in the old version, but there was a Page Footer that could have been used to hold a Footnote that you would add manually.
Page Headers and Footers do not exist in the Numbers V3.

Hy, how can i make filter in numbers, like in excel? can anybody help me?

i am new in mac, and of course in numbers, until now i use exel, and i know to work with it, but now i want to use numbers, so...i want to make a filter like in excel.but i don.t know how.
Thanks.

Hi,
The screen shot didn't really clarify the question for me.
Here's what Jerry was describing, the Reorganization panel, Numbers's equivalent to the 'Denumire' panel shown in your screen shot:
It's currently set to show only rows of the table where the temperature is recorded as between 11 and 13 °C. I've clicked the + button to the right of that condition to add a second, but have not started to build that condition yet.

How can i make adreslabels with Numbers

I bought OS 10,7 ( for i Cloud) Now Apple Works i cannot use! This is e great great problem.
Hou can I make now new afdress labels. Alle my files are made with apple Works

Re-install Snow Leopard on a seperate partition or external drive, or use iWork Pages and Numbers to open your AW WP and SS files.
Databases are a different problem, but they can be exported as ASCII and imported to Numbers or to Bento.
However, you have to open them to export, which means having SL available anyway.
To do address labels, I think you'll need to export them to Address Book; this can be done by exporting from numbers as a .csv file and importing to address book.

How to make folders in numbers

how do you make folders in Numbers for templates and spreadsheets.

This sounds like an iOS (iPad/iPhone) question. If so please let us know, using the "report post" can be used to have it moved to the iOS forums.
In iOS, you use the same method as you do in the main operating system. From your spreadsheet list, Tap and hold till they wiggle, then move one on top of another.

How can I make a column of sums out of a repeating pattern of 24 changing numbers

How can I make a column of sums out of a repeating pattern of 24 changing numbers in Numbers.
I have a long list of 8760 numbers of which I need to take the sum (and store in a column) of each 24 numbers.

Here's one way. I've reduced the example, taking groups of five numbers from a set of 20. I've used 3 as the data number in all cases to make the sum easily recognizable.
Original column of numbers in Data::column A.
Data::B2 (and filled down): =QUOTIENT(ROW()+3,5)
This adds 3 to the row number, then divides by 5, returning the quotient and ignoring the remainder.
The result is a 'group number' for each group of five rows.
Sums of each group are reported in the Sums table.
Sums::A2 (and filled down): =ROW()-1
Sums::B2 (anf filled down): =SUMIF(Data::$B,A2,Data::$A)
For your example, assuming the 8760 numbers are listed in column A of a table named Data, starting at cell A2:
Add a second column to the table (column B).
In B2 enter the QUOTIENT formula above, with these two revisions:
=QUOTIENT(ROW()+22,24)
Fill down to all cells in the column.
Provided you have named the first table "Data", both formulas in the Sums table will be as written above. You will need to extend the Sums table to 366 rows (including the Header row) to accommodate all 365 groups of 24.

Barry

How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.

How do I get my image numbers to display as imported like they used to? Can no longer make Events or view old events as before either.
If this is replacing Aperture and previous iPhoto it is USELESS...WAY fewer options for editing available. New "Photos" is a piece of JUNK!

Hi.
I have just migrated my library from Aperture to photos. All seems to have gone smoothly, except for one thing. All of my photos are 'untitled', whereas in both Aperture, and previously iPhoto, the filename was used for the title. If I hit CMD+I and get info, the title is still there as the filename, as I use the filename for all titles.
Is there a way to batch copy all filenames as photo titles, this was done automatically in Aperture and iPhoto, as when photos were imported the filename was used automatically.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

How can i make the text go vertically in numbers

How can I make the text vertical in numbers? I have merged the cells and cannot find an option for making it go vertical as opposed to horizontal.

I already gave two tools to fit this kind of needs.

Le script colle dans la cellule le mot apès avoir inséré un return entre tous les caractères.

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.
