Hello Brian, I'm wondering whether your verbosity settings could be causing your problem. Another idea is Navigation settings. I always set the mouse cursor to ignore the other cursors. Try creating an activity for Numbers and play around with your VO settings in that. Cheers, Anne On 10 O

Hey Tim, Thanks, yeah no clue and not sure how I am the only one this is happening to. I have to put together a spread sheet for work, and am having to rely on a sighted person to do my work for me, quite frustrating. I have tried day after day to get numbers to work but the same problem of voi

Me neither, for the two days I've had the app. You might try uninstalling it and downloading a fresh copy from the App Store, or perhaps Google can shed light on the problem? As to the formula, I did get things working with a test sheet using the fill command. I read on a forum that adding a fo

Hi, Sorry Brian, I've never had that sort of issue with Numbers ever. It sounds like things are hanging somewhat thus nothing is being entered into your cells. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On 2013-10-09, at 12:37 PM, Brian Fischler wrote: > Hey guys, > > I would love to he

Hi, If I'm understanding you correct, then the Fill Down command is what you need. • Let's say you have some data in B2, C2, D2 and E2 and you wish them added together and the total placed in F2. • enter =sum(b2:e2) in F2. Or, highlight B2 through E2 then up to the Insert menu, down to Functio

Hey guys, I would love to hear if anyone else is having this issue with numbers, as it is driving me nuts, and makes numbers unusable. I just started a new spread sheet. It has five rows and when I go to enter info in to a cell voiceover just completely stops talking. Ok I figured voiceover is

I've read about fills. I was hoping for a way to have the forumla apply no matter what, so I don't have to keep filling as I add more rows in the future. On Oct 9, 2013, at 7:00 AM, Nicholas Parsons wrote: > Hey Alex, > > Try this. > First, try flipping your table around. So, you have your hea

Hey Alex, Try this. First, try flipping your table around. So, you have your headers across the top row, at the top of each column: A1, B1, C1, D1, E1. Then, A2 might be, for instance, date. B2 would be starting milage, C2 end milage, D2 excluded milage. IN E2, type =C2-B2-D2. Not sure if this

HI Gigi, I'm learning lots from your Numbers tutorials too, so thank you. Some of your emails are turning out as symbols to me. Are you using a non-English character set or something? NOt sure if it's the same for everyone but some come out as pretty messed up to me. Cheers, Nic On 09/10/201

Thanks for your reply, but it looks like you turned contractions off at some point and forgot to turn them back on. I've been there. I got the first part of your message, but not the second part where things really got confusing. The formula syntax is okay - I enjoy programming, and am familiar

Hi there Let me see if I can clear up some things. First, the top row is the role that voiceOver uses to announce your labels. I got told by somebody that the column on the left column A, is what voiceOver uses to say the columns. So, you would not have your formula in the same cell that you hav

If that's the case, how do I add a formula to a cell but keep the cell label? For the second part, what I want is for each row of column 14 to be automatically filled in using the values of three other columns in that row. Specifying, say, g2+h2 will not work for l3, I'd need g3+h3. There has to

Hi, When focus is on a specific cell and you are entering data into that cell, you are actually entering the data into the Formula field. This is normal Spreadsheet behaviour. The entry field is actually separate from the cell itself. This is how you can know both the result of a given formu

Hi again, and sorry for all the questions about Numbers. I'm trying to add a formula to a column, a simple subtraction of three other columns. When I hit equals, I can type my formula, but then the title I gave the column is gone (I pressed equals on the header cell of the column). If I stop int
