Numbers for iPad .Column width

I can adjust column width.Can I adjust column with of individual rows?

if you mean to change the size of individual cells to be different from those surrounding it, then no, they must be identical in size to the cells above and beside them, so they fit in the grid required for referencing them.
You can merge cells to make them appear larger than the cell above or below, they will be referenced in formulas as the equivalent top left hand cell of the original range of cells. But the outer limtis will still line up with columns limits at the top of the table.

Numbers for iPad.Column graphs

Can I adjust column width when making a column graph?

No, not specifically, but some of the chart types and formats are better visually than others. You might want to experiment witht he 3-d types, if that fits your data.

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.

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

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
André

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

Numbers for iPad if statement

I am using numbers for iPad and am trying to do a if statement. Cell A1 has a value of 2 and cell A2 has a value of 3. If I see if(A1<3) I get true if I do if(A1<A2) I get false... Can I not compare two cell values?

I may be misunderstanding what you want but here is a start. To make it easier to do the conditional formatting of 30 rows, I suggest putting the color in column C, not column B. If the formatting is in column B you will have to manually edit all 30 of them. In column C, you can copy/paste the format to all the rows.
1. Put the correct answers in column D. You will hide this column after everything is set up.
2. In C1 put the formula =IF(B="","", IF(B=D,D,D&" ")) . This will make C1 blank until an answer is typed into B1. Then it will provide the correct answer (with a single space appended to the end if B has an incorrect answer).
3. Create a conditional format for C1 that is "if text contains a space then fill red".
4. Drag-fill or copy/paste C1 to the rest of the column.
5. Hide column D

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.

Where do I find basic instructions on Numbers for iPad?

I bought numbers for ipad to have a portable spreadsheet program to use in the field. I previously used HanDBase with my smart phone. I'm having problems with figuring out how to use numbers. For example, I entered two columns of numbers and wanted to calculate a correlation coefficient. I could enter the numbers and highlight them, bu I was unable to make the program apply the formula to those numbers.
Where can I find out how to use this program? It isn't intuitively obvious to me. Are there any books written on the subject?

Bottlerocket,
When you open a spreadsheet on your iPad there is a Help File readily available under the Tool Menu (the wrench icon in the upper right) - it has a search option and can provide instructions to entering formulas on the iPad in Numbers.
Additional help can be found in two downloadable PDF files: Numbers '09 User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Numbers09_UserGuide.pdf and The Formula and Functions User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Formulas_and_Functions_User_Guide.pdf - both are for Numbers '09 for OSX but many of the principles are the same with iOS Numbers and OSX Numbers
Remember, too, that if you "dump" your iPad Numbers app (i.e., delete it from your iPad) any files created by it are also deleted - be sure you transfer any files you wish to keep before "dumping" Numbers. Personnaly, I think you will miss some of the real pleasures of using Numbers if you do, but Happy Computing to you.

Mean function no longer part of numbers for iPad?

I have been searching for this function for a while with no luck. Numbers for iPad use to have the ability to highlight rows or columns and would give the mean, high, low, & count in a pop up box. I know I could create a formula to get the same info but it was really convenient for us to access the information with that function. The info is in the bottom left-hand corner of numbers for Mac. Please give me some direction if I've missed the function somewhere in numbers for iPad or confirm for me that it was taken out of the program when they updated a few months ago. Thanks for your help

Numbers for iPad help

Hi there.
I Need help with a problem I have.
I Have 2 spreadsheets on the same file on numbers for iPad. What I want to achieve is can I get data in say cell c12 to be auto fill on sheet 2 cell b18?
if this is possible how would I do this and what would the formula be.
Pease help.

I have posted two pictures of my screen through Flickr here is the first screen shot
http://www.flickr.com/photos/50204668@N08/6938627557/
And the second
http://www.flickr.com/photos/50204668@N08/6792513356/
Basically what it looks like is that of the 11 columns that I have only 8 of them are showing up. The first column (book title) is "hiding" the other 3 columns below it. I have tried resizing all the columns do they are smaller and that doesn't work. What is odd is that when I view the same spreadsheet on my iPhone 4s all the. Olin's show up and work just fine. Hopefully the pictures work ok and someone would be able to help me.
Thanks again!

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.
Regards,
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.
