    I’ve been using Numbers for a while, and I didn’t know about that footer row tip. I’ve been making the totals row at the bottom without specifying it as a footer (which makes for extra - unnecessary - work, when you want to add a new data row right above the totals row.) Thanks, Gary!

    Great introduction to Numbers. I watch your videos showing how to use a specific app or topic even if I think I know the topic only to find out I didn't know as much as I thought . Your discussion of footers in this video is a good example of not knowing as much as I thought. Had to lookup function STRIPDURATION shown in an example format window. It just sounded interesting. I probably won't use it but thanks to your video and looking it up, I'm aware of it should a need arise. Thanks for the great job.

    I love it how you can use different tables, like you explained. I think it makes numbers a more intuitive tool. My main wish for Numbers is that they make it possible to use data from different Numbers documents, like you can on excel, but I bet that would be a huge undertaking and unlikely to happen.

    Mac user since 1986. By the time Numbers came along, I like most other people had been using Excel for a number of years. My rule for new tech is, if it’s better than the old tech I’ll use it. I’ve tried several times to get into Numbers and frankly, it’s just not better than Excel. LibreOffice and Google Sheets basically follow the format of Excel, so I also use those spreadsheets. I guess my main problem with Numbers is that it changes many of the user procedures for formatting your spreadsheet without offering any real new benefits. I have to break old habits to learn something that gets me to the same place. I think Numbers is mostly for people who are brand new to using a spreadsheet and obviously use a Mac.

    • @macmost
      @macmost  5 месяцев назад

      I used Excel and the like for years before Numbers. But the multi-table ability of Numbers makes it far more usable to me. Excel just looks archaic to me now. Like something from a previous era.

    Another very helpful video. One thing that is likely very easy but I haven't worked out yet is if I select part of a Numbers table, copy it to the clipboard and then paste into a Pages document I get a table with that data. I generally want just the text with tabs separating the column data on each row. Even if I Paste and Match Style I still get a table in the Pages document. The work around I've been using is creating a new TextEdit document, do Paste and Match Style into it, select all, copy and then in the Pages document Paste and Match Style. I'd love a way to do this directly from Numbers to Pages.

    • @macmost

    Thank you for this very informative video. Although, it would be an EXTRA plus if there was a way to create an "X" strikethrough option from the Cell/Border Format selection. I create calendar logs and like to see when something has been accomplished & like to X off the cells once things have been completed. So, until "Numbers" app has an added option like that, I still prefer to use "Excel".

    This is a great tutorial video. Thank you. One question though. In the section on formatting the date, can you create a different date format on the list? For example, I do genealogy and the standard format for the date is, day, month, year - 5 Jun 2022 (note the 3 letter abbreviation for the month). I did not see that format in the list. Can I create that format and add it to the list? Thank you.

    Hi, I have a problem in Numbers, could you make a video explaining stuff needed for that?
    I have a personal budget for which I used a template contained in the Numbers (the one with the circle graph - real expenses - at the top left, column graph - budget x reality - next to it and a table detailing the categories at the bottom left) in the first sheet. There’s a sheet summarising the expenses and a transactions sheet for writing each expense. I want to have a summary for each month in a year (one summary sheet for January, one for February etc.). Right now I always duplicate both the summary and transactions sheet and reroute the summary to the new transactions sheet. I’d like to set the summary sheets in such a way that they all use the same transactions sheet but only select the transactions from the month related to them. But I don’t know how the correct syntax for the IF function (particularly the logical condition) to accomplish that. Or if you already made a video for this, can you give its name please?

Is it possible to have like a ghost cell that when you cursor over it you have a hidden cell with say time in it that becomes viewable? Then when the cursor is moved it is no longer viewable. used to do that in excel before becoming exclusively a Mac user.

    Hello, thanks for the video, very useful. It's a pity that I didn't find it right away, as I started learning tables.
    I have a question, please tell me, is there a way to make an interconnected drop-down list like in google sheets? I am creating a table to track income and expenses and would like that when I select "income" or "expense" in one row, I would have different categories in the other row, depending on the first row?
    It would just be convenient to have just one quick command to immediately enter income or expense using a form. And if the list is general, then there are too many categories and it takes a long time to find the right one)

    Gary, I have a Numbers spread sheet I cant figure out, it is an estate budget sheet. I got it so it totals up certain columns. The problem i'm having is, that it rounds up or down the cents to the nearest dollar. I want it to show the actual amount in dollars and cents. Here are the 2 columns. Actual total is $103,059.21 it shows $103,059 & in menu bar it shows =SUBTOTAL(109,[Amount]) Another column is $95,623.54 it shows $95,624 & in menu bar it shows =SUBTOTAL(109,[Amount]) How can I fix this?

      The app is called "Numbers" and if you don't already have it on your Mac, just download it from the App Store. It is free and made by Apple itself.

    Your videos have been very useful! I need help -- I got a pop-up when I tried opening my numbers file and it says 'The document "zzz.numbers" could not be opened. The volume "MAY 16 2018" couldn't be mounted. Mount the volume and try opening the document again.' The steps Apple gave in their forum didn't help. What do you suggest I do to get access to my numbers spreadsheet again? Thanks.

      So is that "volume" an external drive or a disk image? Or something else. I don't have a complete picture here.

      @@macmost It's not an external drive...unless I had saved the file in an external drive which I would have to dust it off from my bookshelf and connect it back to the Macbook, right? And what's a disk image? Thanks.

    Question: If you have two tables side by side, and you decide to delete a row on the table on the left, what happens to the rows in the table to the right? Are they deleted as well?

    • @eyeojo

      No, the rows (and columns) live independently in each table.
