Using numbers with iPad

Before I spend 10 bucks on the numbers app for iPad I have a few general questions. The main one being how compatible is excel and numbers. I want to know if I import a sheet I was working with in excel to numbers and that sheet has formulas, charts, graphs, etc. will those things (such as formulas) be translated into the numbers app? Will these things still be useable.
Thank you for your help!

To automatically sync documents between iOS devices & your Macs, the Macs need to be running Mountain Lion & iWork 9.2. But you can manually sync documents in Lion & Snow Leopard (the only OSes I've tried it on) using the iWork section of iCloud.com in a web browser.

    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.

  • When using Numbers with iCloud, a new version of the spreadsheet is created even when no reisions have been made. Why is this, and how do I make it stop?

    When using Numbers with iCloud, a new version is created every time I make a change. I do not want all these revised documents. When I change a document, I commit to that change. How do I shut off this multiple-revision feature of Numbers being pushed to iCloud.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The first Mac with Thunderbolt was the Early 2011 MacBook Pro. If you have got a 2010 MacBook Pro, you have got Mini DisplayPort instead of Thunderbolt, which are the same, but Mini DisplayPort can't be used to connect external disks.
    To check which MacBook Pro you have, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and you will see the MacBook Pro model. If it's Mid 2010 or older, you haven't got Thunderbolt, so you have to connect the external drive through USB

  • Help, need simple instructions on how to use numbers with keyboard.

    I just got Numbers for IPAD 2 and I am new to Spreadsheets in general.  I simply cannot understand how to use this program with my mini external keyboard (gotten from Apple)  to make it do what I need it to do.  I am trying to set up a spreadsheet for my Jewelry Design Business.  It's an inventory Spreadsheet, listing each item, the number of the item, the title, description, price and final sold price and type of Jewelry.  I need the two price columns to add the sum of all the jewelry in each row, which by some miracle I was actually able to do.  What I am having trouble with is getting it to automatically change to dollars for the two price columns without having to touch the dollar sign on the formula bar each time I enter a new item, and getting it to jump from the last cell in the last column to the first cell of the first column when I am finished with a row and need to go to the next item.  What it does do is either jump to the cell right beneath it, or go backwards, or sometimes it does go to the first cell of the next line, but I don't know what I am doing to make that happen.  Anyway being new to this all, it is obvious I need specific simple instructins on how to use this program. Does anybody know where I can find some help?

    IMHO, forget about doing any meaningful Excel work an iPad unless you want to be a slave and spend 3-4 times the amount of time it would take to do inputs on a normal computer.  Now, IF there was mouse support, then it might be worth the effort.  I tried it and gave up.

  • How to create a list from checkboxes using Numbers on iPad?

    I am creating a guest list using Numbers foriPad. First sheet is a list of invited people with checkboxes (Yes/No/still to reply) in next column. In the next sheet i want create a list of everyone that has replied yes.
    I have tried using the if statement, but I dont want any blank cells.
    -IF(A2;TRUE;A1) gives name in A1 if box is checked, but gives 0 or something else if i specify. But i want to automatically start on next row to avoid blank or 0-
    Example:
    David   V
    Lisa.     V
    Derek 
    Brad.   V
    Paul.
    John
    The separate list in another sheet should then be:
    David
    Lisa
    Brad
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Can you use the the reorganize panel to sort the list?
    Idon't have Numbers on the iOS so I am not sure.  You are posting in the forum for Numbers on Mac OS X.
    you can also add a new column (let's say C)
    where
    C1=if(A1, A1, "")
    this will include the name from column A  when the checkbox in B is checked.  You can then copy column C and paste values using the menu item (Edit > Paste Values, or equivalent in iOS... not sure what it is)

  • Using Numbers with Lion and iOS

    Hi,
    I'm interested in using Numbers to share and update documents across my Apple devices (iMac, Macbook Pro, iPhone and iPad) via iCloud.
    I have Numbers 09 installed on my iMac and Macbook.
    I get that I will need to install Numbers on my iPhone and iPad.
    My questions are the following:
    Do I need to update my Numbers to the '11 version in order to share any documents generated on my iMac/Macbook via iCloud?
    If so, do I need to purchase separate copies of Numbers for the Lion machines and for the iOS machines, or will the same copy of the software be usable among the four machines?
    Thanks!

    V.G.,
    The iOS and OSX versions are sold separately. There is no '11 version of iWork, if that's what you are asking about. iWork '09 is the most recent, but there have been many free updates along the way.
    A single iOS purchase will be good for all your iOS devices. For OSX, if you used the MacAppStore, you purchase only once for all computers on your account. If you purchased from the Apple store onlne or from a retailer, it's a single user license or a family license, so you that would determine if one copy would be enough.

  • Sorting and formatting in Numbers with iPad 2

    I am going to send feedback to Apple about this, but I wanted to let the community help, if I am incorrect and these things are actually possible.
    1. I can only sort by one column. I want to be able to create a sort priority. For example, I want to sort four columns first by date, then by person's name, then by $ amount. Not possible on mobile Numbers.
    2. I want to choose to sort only specific columns. I have a formula set up in column E that sums the cells to the left in columns C and D. My formulas break every time I sort.
    3. When I copy and paste from one Numbers spreadsheet into another, the formatting from the copied sheet gets put into the pasted sheet. I want to be able to "paste format" like you can in Excel. A sort-of workaround for this is to select the cell that has the correct format (this cell has to be directly above the cells that have the wrong formatting), pull the blue select box down the column to include the cells that have the wrong formatting, click the paintbrush at the top right corner, then choose whatever formatting you need--the format that is shown as selected will be the format of the first-selected cell. You have to do this for every individual column, however. And my columns are very long -- hundreds of cells long (I'm keeping a year's worth of data).
    Am I correct in that if I buy a Mac computer and Numbers for the computer, I would be able to do these edits on the Mac, and then have them show up on my iPad when it synchs with iCloud? I can't buy Numbers for a PC, can I? Being tied to a computer isn't what I want--I wanted to be able to do everything on my mobile device.
    Thanks!

    for #1: numbers does what is called a "stable" sort. Meaning that the previous sort order is preserved. i.e. do your sort in reverse order. Amount, then name, then date. Just did it with sample data and it was perfect. It keeps them in the original order, so if there is a match in name after you sort, you should see the amount still in the proper order.
    #2: What in your formula isnt working? I just made a formula that did math on the columns to the left, sorted and it worked. Sorted by static data columns and the formula column. I know it was broken originally, years ago, but it seems to be working correctly now, at least in my quick test. You might have an issue if you are using formulas that refer to data on other rows or tables.
    #3: yeah formatting can be a pain. But it is easier to do in the desktop program. No, you cannot get it for windows, sorry. If the formatting the only thing you need to do on the desktop side, then i dont see much tying you to it. I do 90% or more on the ipad and iphone now.

  • Soft Return in Numbers with iPad Virtual Keyboard?

    When using my Apple wireless keyboard I am able to create a soft return/new line within a text cell by using "option + enter" keys. The "enter" key by itself moves the cursor to the next cell instead of doing a new paragraph or line within the same cell.
    Is there any way to replicate this functionality with the virtual keyboard on the iPad? There are times when I don't have my wireless keyboard with me, like right now, and still need to have that functionality.

    This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond. You can make a suggestion.
    Send feedback to Apple.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    I bought a case with a bluetooth connected keyboard. Much easier to use than the on-screen keyboard if you do a lot of typing. You can use many/most computer wireless keyboards with the iPad.
