Numbers for ipad - forms not showing text while typing

Is anyone else having this issue: When I try to enter data into a form only the first field shows what I am typing. As soon as I go to the next field you cannot see what is being typed into the field. The field is working because I can enter data and when the next field is selected you can see the data that was entered but you cannot see it while you are entering the data. This was working fine last week now it will not work at all. Tried rebooting the iPad but still not working.

OK. So I just got off the phone with Apple Support. They have known about the issue for a couple of days and are working on a fix! Hopefully we will see an update to Numbers for iOS soon!

  • Numbers for iPad will not add a form

    Numbers in iPad does not offer the choice to add a form when choosing the plus sign for a new tab / sheet.  It immediately gives me a new blank sheet.  Does anyone know why?

    Found the problem.  You have to have the Column Headers on that very top row - otherwise they're not recognized as Headers.

  • Numbers for Mac does not show all stored Numbers files in iCloud that are already in use on iPhone and ipad

    I have been using Numbers on both iPhone and iPad for a while and have about 8 files stored on iCloud. I have just purchased Numbers for Mac but I do not see any of my files stored in iCloud. I have created a test spreadsheet on my Mac which says it is stored on iCloud when I choose File - Open on my Mac but this test file does not appear on Numbers on iPhone or iPad.

    I have tried all what you have suggested but still no luck. I am unable to locate the file Mobile Documents in either the Library folder under Mac HD or Mac HD - System - Library.
    If you've set up iCloud properly on the Mac then in your Library there will be a Mobile Documents folder with documents in it:
    Everything else syncs absolutley fine such as contacts, mail, notes, pictures etc etc.
    Contacts, Mail, etc. sync via another iCloud protocol. For Numbers you need 'Documents & Data' turned on, per the screenshot upthread.
    Numbers appears twice under iCloud for some reason though -
    Numbers doesn't appear "under iCloud".  Numbers uses iCloud to sync. Not sure what your screenshot is showing. On the Mac your Numbers will be here (in Finder):

  • Error for Budget exceeded for Network does not show up while creating PR.

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    We have an issue while creating a purchase Requisition from Network. When we enter the Toatal Amount in the PR and if the total Amount is greater than the total Budget for the Network, the error "For item 001 Ntwk actvty XXX &  WBS element XXX budget amount XX USD exceeded " is not showing up in the foreground by the system and hence not able to create PR. It seems that while trying 30-40 times, the system will show this error in the foreground once or twice only and we want this to be appears in the foreground consistently. Can you please advice how to fix this? Thanks,
    Reagards,
    Imran.

    Hi,
    you need to maintain sufficient budget in respective WBS element by using transaction CJ30 and by releasing budget through CJ32.
    Check the budget availabilty in report s_alr_87013558.
    It will resolve your issue

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • Numbers for iPad totalling check boxes

    I am very new to Numbers on iPad. I have been searching for how to total check boxes and gather that you use the function "countif" Am I missing something? I look in functions and can only see count or if, but not a countif option. How do you select this function?

    John, Is that for the desktop version of numbers? Sounds like it with the reference to the Insert menu.
    on Numbers for IPad, you
    double tap a cell
    tap the equal button above the keyboard that shows up
    tap "functions" to the right
    Tap "Categories" on the top of the floating window
    then Statistical.
    Browse for Countif
    Tap countif to add it to your formula.
    The first argument is highlighted, so tap the reference range to be tested
    Tap the second argument bubble for condition.
    Tap the True/False button twice to cycle through to True
    Tap the GReen check mark to finish

  • 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, &amp; 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
