IPad Numbers IF functions

I am trying to have a cell copy the information from another cell, but only if there is any information in a third cell. Does that makes sense?
I want cell A2 to show the exact same value from cell A1 but only if cell A3 has any value in it. Otherwise, I want cell A2 to be blank. These cells are all text values.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Allcos,
In cell A2 write:
=IF(LEN(A3) > 0, A1, "")

Numbers application on Ipad, the 'VALUE' function doesn't seem to work correctly on the string/text I want to convert to a value.

Hi, I would appreciate if someone could assist with the following. On the Numbers application on my Ipad, the 'VALUE' function doesn't seem to work correctly on the string/text which I want to convert to a value. It gives me an error (in my example: 'VALUE requires a string specifying a number, but found "-14308.65" instead.'
The exact same document (if converted from Numbers to excel), displays the converted string/text correctly in MS Excel as a value though.

click on the cell then in the formula bar and use the arrow keys to move the cursor to see if there are any other characters in the cell that could confuse the function. Also make sure the localization for your country is correct in System Prefs.
Maybe copy the EXACT contents of the cell and post here.

How do i add a timestamp in ipad numbers

I cant find any where better to post this so I hope it is ok here if not please feel free to remove to a better section
As the title states really I need to enter a number in D2 and then D3 needs to show the time of the entry in D2.
I assume it goes down the lines of if D2 > 0 and D3 = "" then D3 = Time. But I have never used spread sheets at all, this is my first encounter and the Ipad numbers syntax is pretty confusing for a nuube.
Any advice would be great

@ SG111 Thanks for the reply but I dont think you understand the question my friend, your answer is not relevant to what i was asking at all
@ T quinn
1 it seems ludicrous that it is impossible to simply add a time stamp it seems a very important yet simple task to use a timestamp in a spread sheet so why not have it in numbers?
It seems it is impossible from what i gather yet it seems so easy to do with the logic after all many applications use a very simple time for input criteria.
I see no issue with the logic that if D3 ="" and D2>0 then Time stamp D3. Once D3="NOW" it no longer ="" and should not alter the time when the calcs are made.....
My main issue is actually getting the syntax right in the numbers logic functions
Maybe Numbers simply does not allow it in which case it is a pretty useless piece of software indeed!
Any way thanks for the help

Using SUMIFS on iPad Numbers has anyone had trouble using the keypad relational symbols in the "conditions" field?

The iPad Numbers has a very nice data entry keyboard for expressing conditions. They have the usual =, <, > but also have the single symbol version of >=, <= and <> (as an equals with a slash through it), however, if you try to use these keypad keys in the conditions field of the SUMIFS, it returns a syntax error. After seeing some examples of Numbers '09 I discovered I had to express a relation inside double quotes, " ", which means the text keyboard is displayed and the very nice data entry keyboard is gone along with the nice symbols. Has anyone seen this and am I doing something wrong or is this another bug? Thanks.

The xxxIF functions have (for as long as I have used them) required a text string as the argument unless it was equal to a value of a cell, with no logical operators. so it is not something new, its been that way for decades and I personally think Apple might have done it differently if they didnt have to maintain compatiability with older spreadsheet programs.
i.e. not a bug, ensures backward compatability.

Need help with Drop down cells on IPAD Numbers

Hy everyone:
Im new in this forum and Im not god writing, so sorry for my english.
I have a question about using Drop down cells on Numbers in the IPAD version. In Numbers I normally can use drop down cell but some days ago i bought the IPAD and Iwork suit, and i import some numbers documents that I have done. When I tried to drop the menu of a cell I could not.
I would like to know is their is a way to see this type of menus on IPAD Numbers.
Thanks for the attention. And I will be grateful for your answers

I don't think drop down selection is supported in iPad numbers. If you would like to see this functionality added, peas make a suggestion at http://www.apple.com/feedback
Thanks

Ipad numbers

Column will not sum on ipad numbers. I have three numbers in a column and when I try to sum the column I get zero for the results. I can't see what I am doing wrong.

If the numbers are being stored as numbers it will not sum. Check your formatting and verify that it is stored in some numerical format.
That's the first thing i always check when I get that error.

IPad Numbers and Dates

Hi
Firstly, what appears to be a bug when trying to reformat a date cell/column - if I set to d/m/yy it turns on time, if I then go down and set time to NONE it changes the year format to yyyy. Pretty annoying.
Suggestion - keyboard for date fields should have now/today button - would make a lot of sense.
Is there a way of logging bug reports (outside of picking up a phone and talking to the admittedly very helpful guys in Bangalore)?
thanks
Andrew

I'm using iPad Numbers 1.1. The keyboard used for date fields DOES have a "Today" button. It doesn't show up when the "month" sub-field is selected (i.e. on the keyboard which has month names on the number buttons) because there isn't really room for it on the screen, but it does show up when the "day" or "year" sub-field is selected. It's to the right of the zero, where the decimal point would be on the straight numeric keypad.
In addition, the keyboard used for the "hour", "minute", and "second" sub-fields has a "Now" button, in the same place.

HT1766 ipad no longer functions after accepting an updated version of "Hayday"

ipad no longer functions after accepting an updated version of "Hayday"

Unfortunately it was a blinding flash of the obvious that fixed my issue...
Simply rebooting the iMac brought it back to life.
Duh.
I assumed that since Apple usually forces reboots after updates if they are required that this didn't require one, apparently it did.

The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back tot he main iPad screen. Any suggestions on to hoe to fix this? The software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1, and no furthe updates are available.

This is my boilerplate response when app downloads are stalled or in the "waiting" mode. There are a bunch of things here to try.
Tap on the "installing" icon and see if you can pause the install, then tap on it again in order to resume the install.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download and install at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and see if the install resumes.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Numbers 08 export to .xls then import to iPad Numbers?

As the title suggests I need to know if I buy Numbers for my iPad would I be able to export my three important Numbers 08 files to .xls format and then import in iPad Numbers? As I already know that iPad Numbers will not open iWork'08 files (Numbers)
I don't really want to buy iWorks'09 for the laptop as well as Numbers for the iPad

The only way I've managed to export documents from my iPad is mailing it to my self, which is ok. The problem is that the numbers format is not recognized by Excel so basicly the iPad.Numbers is useless in an office environment.
Too pity really. I

Can an ipad bought here function in Italy

Can an ipad bought US function in Italy

If you have a Wi-Fi or an AT&T iPad, then they should both function well in Italy. You will need a microSIM card from a local telecom to use the G3 network in Italy, unless you want to pay AT&T exorbitant roaming fees.
Even a Verizon iPad should work on Wi-Fi only in Italy.

HT201335 when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue?

when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue? My son's Ipad(same as kind as mine) works ok with the apple tv but mine does not. Any suggestions?

Hello Nina Izurin,
While written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting below can help resolve issues with your iPad's camera, as well.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
