While Apple has done an incredible job bringing their suite of productivity apps to both the iPhone and iPad, they haven’t done a great job showing users how to get the most out of those apps.
Of these, Numbers for iPad is perhaps the least used, as many users are simply unaware of some of its features.
So, to fix this and make you more productive, here are some really useful features that Numbers for iPad has to offer: Data sliders, which let you change the number of any cell flexibly and precisely, as well as Pop-up Notifications, which are great for remembering something important about a cell and its contents.
Important Note: If you use Numbers often, check out our previous entries and learn how to work with it even faster on your Mac or iOS device.
Ready to learn more about these features? Great.
Data slider
Step 1: First, start by selecting the cells where you want the data slider to work. For this, tap a tile once and then drag the corner until all the rest are selected.
In this example, we’ll be working with a selection of cells associated with the chart so you get a better idea of how useful a slider can be.
Step 2: Once you select the relevant cells, tap Format icon (brush) and select the rightmost tab Format. Then scroll down and tap Scroll bar select.
Step 3: This step is completely optional, but nonetheless useful. If you want even more control over the data in your spreadsheet cells, you can tap the letter ‘I’ next to Scroll bar. In the resulting menu, you’ll see different ways you can control your data, such as setting a value range or even setting the number of units per increment as you move the slider.
Step 4: Once you are done with this option, just go to the relevant cells and tap on any cell to bring up a slider that you can use to change its value instantly and with granular control.
Take a look at the two photos below. Notice how the cell value changes with the slider, and how the portion of that cell in the linked pie chart (the big orange part) also resizes accordingly.
Pop-up menu
Step 1: First, select the cell where you want to add a note. Then, just like with the slider, you can access this option by tapping Format icon at the top right of the screen. There, under the Format tab, tap Menu.
Step 2: Next, you will be able to enter any type of note under the cell number by tapping add new item. Once done, just tap anywhere else to exit the options menu. Now, every time you tap the referenced cell, your note will pop up.
Your go. If you regularly use Numbers on iPad or with spreadsheets that hold large amounts of data, these two options will help you work faster and have more control over your spreadsheets. Enjoy!
