Protect cells in Numbers for iPad

Hello all,
I have a master spreadsheet on a shared iPad I would like to protect. The idea is, anyone who needs to use the spreadsheet would make a copy and use that copy, leaving the master spreadsheet unchanged. Unfortunately, I do not trust most of the users that would be using the iPad to not change the master (by accident, of course).
Does anyone know of a way I can accomplish that?
Thanks,
Scott

I too can't open a Numbers '09 file on the iPad. Its around 600KB with 7 sheets. Sometimes similar sized files open, sometimes not.
Is it crashing or is it giving wrong results ?
I understood that with the late changes it opened but some formulas give odd results.
I sent the test file to some one which is often on this forum.
Just hope that he will respond.

  • 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.

  • How to open password protected files in Numbers for iPad?

    In my company, there are formats created in Excel 2010 which have password-protetected cells. Neither Numbers, nor Doccuemts to Go can't open them.
    The workaround is having someone open the file in my office and re-save it in an older version, but it messes up with the formatting and it's simply not a practical solution.
    Documents to Go still doesn't support Office 2010 password protected files. Numbers niether, so does anyone know of any app that can solve my problem?

    Go to the App Store on your iPad and download Adobe Acrobat DC (formerly called Reader).
    Open it and click on Help. Then click on Handbook. Read the section on "Open PDFs in Acrobat DC"

  • Limitations of number of populated cells in Numbers for iPad?

    Does anyone know what the maximum parameters are for Numbers on iPad? I have searched for a knowledge base article on this but cannot find one. I am trying to bring in a excel sheet I converted to Numbers on my MacBook Pro and then brought it into Numbers on my iPad. It crashes midway through opening it on the iPad and I think its because of the file size and number of sheets. Before I redesign the spreadsheet to be smaller, I would like to know what the maximum size should be (rows, columns, sheets etc).

  • How do i change The size of The Cells in numbers for iPad

    I am trying to adapt the size of a numbers-cell on my ipad but i do not find how. Can anyone help me?

    Yes!! I solved my own problem!
    Tap the thick table toolbar at the top of the column you want to resize, then when this toolbar section is highlighted in blue, drag the tiny little double line at the right hand side of highlighted toolbar as wide as you wish! This can be repeated to change the height of columns by repeating these steps on the left hand side table bar.
    I hope this helps others!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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)
