Intro to Numbers on iPad
Numbers makes it easy to make compelling spreadsheets. You start with a template, then modify it however you like. The templates are designed for specific purposes — like budgets and checklists — to give you a great starting point for your work. Each template comes with pre-designed styles for text, tables, shapes and other objects that all look good together, so it’s easy to give your spreadsheet a coordinated appearance.
After you open a template, you can add your own numbers, formulas, dates and text to any table; replace or delete graphs and graphics; add new tables, graphs and more.
When you select an object (an image, shape, graph, table or cell), then tap , you see formatting controls for the type of object you selected.
You can quickly change the look of the selected object by tapping a style to apply it. You can also swipe up from the bottom of the formatting controls to see more options for customising the object.
