Change the text direction in Numbers for iCloud
Numbers for iCloud supports bidirectional text, so you can enter and edit text written from left to right (such as in English or Chinese) and from right to left (such as in Arabic or Hebrew) in the same spreadsheet.
Create a new spreadsheet or open an existing one, and make sure it contains at least one character typed in a right-to-left language.
For instructions on writing in other languages, see Write in another language.
Click in the paragraph whose text direction you want to change.
If you select multiple paragraphs, the text in all of them is formatted to match the first one you selected.
In the Format
sidebar on the right, click the Style button near the top.Click the Text Direction button
to the right of the alignment buttons. If you don’t see the Text Direction button, make sure that a right-to-left language is selected in the input menu, or that your spreadsheet includes right-to-left text.
The insertion point (or any selected text) moves to the other side, and the paragraph direction changes. The next paragraph continues in the same direction. To change its direction, click the direction button again.
If you’re working in a table, you can also reverse the direction of tables and sheets. See Format tables and sheets for bidirectional text.
