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.)

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?

Can i move tables in Numbers for ipad?

Can I move a table from the side of a spreadsheet page to the centre of the page?

Hello there.
I did a small spreadsheet which simulates filtering.
It is a rather crude workaround, but I hope it helps.
How could I share it?
By the way, on my iPad 2, formatting like bold, italic, etc is not being allowed here.
Best regards,

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.

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.

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.

Using Voiceover in Numbers for iPad

I am a blind iPad Mini user looking for the correct gestures for using the Numbers App with VoiceOver. I am not understanding how to navigate the spreadsheets or make changes in them. Does anyone know of a good resource for this? All the ones I have found online are not specific to the Numbers App.

Numbers for iPad.Can i change background color?

When using spreadsheets in numbers for iPad,can I change the background color of the screen while leaving the table white.I want to have a few tables on one spreadsheet and leave the the tables white.Can I do this and change the screen color surrounding the table?

(Numbers '09 answer, Numbers for iOS procedure may be similar.)
In Numbers '09 the Sheet is white (period), You can, however, place a coloured shape on the Sheet, and apply your desired fill colou to that shap, then ruse the Arrange menu to Move it to the Back, then resize it and position it as needed to fill the background.

Numbers for ipad: interpolate or estimate?

Does numbers for ipad interpolate or estimate values when pulling information from a table and the value is between entries on the table?

Conditional formatting does work in Numbers for both iPad and iPhone, but it involves using MS Excel. Either copy or create your spreadsheet into Excel and create your desired conditional formatting. Then transfer the spreadsheet to either iCloud Numbers or e-mail it to yourself and open it in Numbers on your mobile device. The formatting doesn't completely work in the iCloud Numbers Beta version yet (read further), but it will work in the latest version of Numbers on iPad and iPhone. Here's where it gets interesting: Even though iCloud Numbers Beta doesn't "show" the new cell formatting based on the data within, rest assured the conditional formatting is working in the background. To prove it, make your data updates in iCloud Numbers Beta then open the spreadsheet on your mobile device to see the new formatting. And, even more interesting: The snap shot of the spreadsheet in iCloud Numbers Beta will show the proper cell formatting! So there's definitely something happening on the Numbers Beta server that isn't ported to the iCloud App yet.
I'm using this method right now to track engineering drawing releases through our detailing group.

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.

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.

Barry
