Create a spreadsheet in Numbers on iPad
To create a spreadsheet, you start with either a blank template, to which you can add tables, graphs, text and other objects, or a pre-designed template that has place holder elements, including text and images. These templates, which are designed for purposes like personal finance, business and education, give you a great starting point, and you can modify them however you like.
