[@suecaronia3076]

Finally a video that explains the simple functions I needed to know about numbers! Thank you so much!!!

[@Coruptshun]

This is awesome. It's exactly what I needed as someone totally new to numbers and spreadsheets. Thanks so much!! Going to watch the whole playlist.

[@MaquinasDePalomitas]

I’ve been using it for a decade now and just occurred to me to look for a tutorial, mind blown, so many new things I’m just learning about. Glad you got to see it right from the start.

[@weldo1948]

I have now watched several of you Numbers videos. I switched to a MacBook in 2014 but still feel like a rookie. I was proficient in Lotus, Symphony, Quattro Pro and Excel. Your videos are saving me lots of time and with less frustration!!! THANKS

[@carlisletalbot6520]

Do you have a video that shows beginners how to use colors, types of text, and other options in formatting in Numbers, such as highlighting, gradients, text colors, etc? If not, would you please make one that explains each step? (I haven't figured out how to get rid of a gradient in a text cell..) Thank you!

[@JBullerwell]

Your tips are the absolute best! Helpful, easy to follow and I always learn something I hadn't been able to figure out. You're my "Go To" when I'm having trouble figuring out how to do something. Thank you!

[@HarmoniaAAxyridis]

This is really good advice. It is a bit fast, I have to pause the video and rewind over and over and over again to ty to understand how you apply the formula and copy and paste it to everything. It makes it quite hard to do.

[@mioschistewart2392]

[@stingray9905]

Very helpful videos, thank you but i hope next time you will start briefly from the start what we click before we can go to that page. Just for the sake of beginners like me. Thanks.

[@macmost]

I usually do. But this is a list of 20 tips. See some of my other Numbers videos or my course on Numbers.

[@danielre988]

Hi Gary, we love your tips. I was wondering how you move from top to bottom of a column rapidly rather than scrolling?

[@macmost]

Lots of ways. Command+Up and Command+Down for instance.

[@elaineortiz940]

[@alciferblack]

I enjoyed this very much! Thank you for your productions. How would I sort columns by the filled color?

[@plantificationpodcast]

That was fantastic. Thank you for moving so well through this useful material. Really need to learn this app quickly. Hope you're doing well. JV

[@julietaylormtc8636]

Helpful - it's a couple of decades since I learned excel... I have a problem though... Can I ask you it here? I have copy pasted a simple spreadsheet of names and dates and I set the date column to a certain format. Now the program has copied the date but to format the dates so they are all the same, it won't? And it doesn't blend them and put them in ascending order. I wonder what I can do?

[@f.christensen39]

I like the video, thank you. I still am looking for a way to adjust ALL the columns and rows simultaneously. I know how to adjust a row or a column, but not the whole table. Please help

[@macmost]

Adjust in what way?

[@cheikhelwely-sm1ld]

Hello Gary 👋, How to copy a weekly spreadsheet functionality and entries for the next week to apply new data? For example we have weekly sales that has nothing to do with the previous or next week. How to avoid building it every time from scratch? Thank you for your help.

[@gregorynelson4216]

Thanks Gary, were is the video on the perpetual spending numbers spreadsheet?

[@mr.mittal07]

@macmostvideo thanks for the amazing content on numbers, In addition to what you taught, just wanted to know if I have four items in column A(pop menu is great) and if all four items have different sub menus in column B, is there a provision for it? Like for eg, if I select Fiction Books in column A, in column B I should get all the sub pop menu of fiction books feeded and so on... Looking forward to your response.

[@macmost]

No real way to do that.

[@jimmyqing]

Great video, thank you..

[@kenmac8914]

Great information - Thanks

[@peachpiano]

So helpful

[@edielott1901]

Thx. so much useful info on this video.

[@asefsyal]

I'm looking for age formula in Apple Numbers, but I can't find. As in Excel (datedif..) So, is there any formula in Numbers to calculate ages in a column? Thanks

[@Patrick76399]

Instead of using Trello could we turn a spreadsheet into a Kanban board? Do you have a video discussing and showcasing this idea?

[@yemifalaee4701]

Do you have any advice for solver tables? Doing some practice work for school and input the formulas exactly and it defied my constraints and gave me the most bogus numbers ever

[@rahbrt]

attempting to add photos to a cell, which I successfully managed to do, but now I want to view the photo in the cell in larger scale & when I double click to open it nothing is selected and photo won't respond. the image is to small to view. without having to zoom in...... is there a way to "view only" photos that were entered in a single cell? thanks in advance!

[@Jason-yo8nk]

Hi Gary, I am new in numbers, how could I sum the same cell with the previous sheet for a formula, so when I add duplicate sheet that formula could carry on "C1(sheet 2)=A1(sheet 2)+A1(sheet 1), C1(sheet 3)=A1(sheet 3)+A1(sheet 2), C1(sheet 4)=A1(sheet 4)+A1(sheet 3)?, thanks

[@macmost]

Not quite sure what you are trying to do, but look into the INDEX and INDIRECT functions.

[@jebl8888]

Great tips! Very helpful!

[@nikbelikov]

Thanks a lot! It is very helpful!👍

[@nounix]

Why can you not right-click on a cell in Numbers and just add a hyperlink to a file on your hard disk, just like you can do in Excel?? In Excel (even in a very old 2011 version..) I can just right click on a cell, and add a hyperlink to a file anywhere on my disk (and if it's a video, for example, the video files is opened with VLC player which is the default player I have selected to open videos. Simple.). Is it possible that in the year 2020 Numbers is still so far behind Excel?? Or is this function "hidden" somewhere Numbers and I just can't find it??

[@user-on8wl6qx5i]

very useful! thanks!

[@dannyjenkins7569]

Hi I run a picture frame business and have been working on building an inventory file on Numbers. I am stuck trying to figure out what kind of formula would let me enter individual cuts (moulding used each day categorized by item number) and keep track of the following things: daily average use of each moulding, weekly use, monthly use to keep track of what the most popular choices are & better regulate our ordering process. I hope you have some feedback as to how I can accomplish this. My first thought was to create a mirror sheet (using copying formulas) of the raw inventory numbers (what we have in stock) and connecting those to a sheet where I input the daily cuts and use formulas on another sheet to calculate weekly/monthly/ etc but the whole timeline aspect is throwing me for a loop.

[@stephenselby4252]

Thank you. Great video! Is there a command to display all the formulas in a spreadsheet?

[@mga83]

Thnaks for the video, very instructive! Is there any way to freeze individual cells without freezing all the table? I created a table of calculus that I want to share but want to freeze the cells that shouldn't be changed giving only the option to have access where put the only input values. If someone has a trick for that. Thanks a lot.

[@StephaneMaurin]

Hi Gary, is there any chance you could show us how to insert a date picker (as in a mini calendar pop up) in a cell? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks in advance

[@MIBLD]

PERFECT!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!

[@tstroope1]

very informative - is there a way to lock (only) certain cells. We are using the table for ‘notes to file’ and want to prevent previous notes from accidentally being erased (yes, it has happened) by other users

[@macmost]

No. So design your document to use unlocked data in unlocked tables and locked data in locked tables.

[@28fizzle]

Great videos; I've looked through a few of them!! Trying to learn how I can create a table for food preparation/cooking so that if I add a 'finish time' and have each food an allocated 'cooking time' how it would deduct and show what time to go in? It does not seem to allow for 60min format and therefore setting at time of 17:00 (for example) and an 80min oven just offers 16:20 instead of 15:40. Make sense?

[@macmost]

Durations would look like this: 60m You can subtract a duration from a time. So if cell B2 held 16:00 and cell C2 held 50m and you calculated =B2-C2 you would get 15:10 as a result.

[@wasafisafi612]

Thank you so much

[@richquesty8371]

I am a new Mac numbers user. I came from HP Excel, where one sort rows and columns by colors. I you help me do this with Mac numbers?

[@roronoazorro8822]

I am new to Mac OS. I have a question about Numbers. Is it better than than other spreadsheet softwares or should I stick to Excel and Google sheets.

[@macmost]

"Better" is subjective. They are all different and some people like each for different reasons. Try them all, but the one you are used to always has the advantage since you know how to use it already.

[@_32Signs]

Thank you!

[@xLoganWong]

Is it possible to reference one table from another sheet and create a scroll bar that will allow me to scroll through the data like a list? Basically, I am trying to create a one-page summary and I would like to have 1-3 tables referenced from a more detailed sheet that will show about 5 rows each.

[@michaelmccullough9668]

Is there a way to add a date format like this in Numbers? I want to setup a date format like this Date/Month/Year. So it looks like this "25 Jan 2021".

[@jamesmason8259]

Under the personal section in Numbers there is a calendar. How do you change the month and year and get the dates to auto-populate, so that the first falls on the correct day?

[@luiseEllen]

Amazing! I too am working through the playlist and will certainly be heading over to the patreon site at some point. Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
