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.)

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.

Cannot sort a column in Numbers for iPad

I have a Numbers IOS spreadsheet on my iPad which contains 6 worsheets. I can sort the columns in all but one worksheet. In the problem worsheet, when I tap on the grey bar above any column, the menu that appears excludes the "Sort" option. What is wrong?

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.

Summarize in numbers for ipad

I do not know how to summarize in numbers for Ipad.
I can sort without a problem. However if I want to summarize, I cannot do it.
Please help

Here you are in a forum dedicated to Numbers for OSX.
Your question is about Numbers for iOS which is a different application.
Would be more efficient to ask in the forum dedicated to iWork for iOS.

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!
Matthew

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.

Mail Merge using data from Numbers for iPad

Here is my situation:
I use Numbers for iPad to collect data on-site when I'm doing estimates. I then download the data from iCloud to Numbers on my laptop and complete the estimates. I would then like to be able to merge the data into a proposal template I've created in Pages.
The issue seems to be that Numbers for iPad removes header rows but Pages won't accept a Numbers document as a merge source unless it has header rows.
Has anyone found a workaround for this?

I was using Excel and Word for my small business. Then in 2007 I upgraded the whole office to Apple, began using Numbers for basic invoicing. Back then, the solution I found was to use CSV export to InDesign. A few days back I downloaded the 09 tryout and thought using mail merge would be easy.
I get the false populating too: I assume it comes from empty records, as they do not overwrite field names. Somehow I don't think I'm going to go through 2 years of accounting records to reformat my spreadsheet, just so Pages can correctly work with data that is in fact correctly formatted.
Also, there must be an option with the mail merge feature to choose which records I want to merge?!? The current solution (duplicating and erasing unwanted ones) is ridiculous, hiding unwanted rows in Numbers also doesn't work.
As most of the new features in iWork 09 are cosmetic, this one would have been a reason to use iWork as a real office suite. Pity - not really worth the update.

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
