Intro to Numbers / Using Sheets
Subtitles of the Movie
Now, as we continue our look around numbers for the first time here, I want to deal with the upper left-hand corner and deal with the individual sheets that are in a given Numbers workbook. And so I'm going to make the sheet section a little bigger by just clicking and dragging on the dividers here, both in the vertically and horizontally here. I'll just give our sheets area or our sheets pane a little more space here. And as you would expect, if you click on a sheet, it becomes the focus over here in the sheet view and each of the sheets components, tables and or charts are shown in this list here. Now, if you don't want to see the entire thing, you can expand it and contract it as you see fit and this can sometimes be helpful if you're doing what comes up next, which is adding a new sheet, which can be done just by clicking on the sheet button up here in the standard toolbar. It'll go to the end of your list of sheets and then if you want to move it around, you just give it a click and a drag. So it's very similar to working with slides or working with individual pages in a page layout document in Pages. And now I have again virtually the same options. Notice that if I select a sheet, the entire thing is highlighted with this yellow border. So if I want to delete a sheet, I select the entire thing and even if I select one of the tables within, I'm not selecting the entire sheet as you can see, I'm just selecting a table within the sheet, so I have to select the sheet and then I hit the delete key. You'll get a confirmation question like this and then to confirm just click on delete and that sheet goes away. So that's how you work with sheets and you can also use the sheets to move elements from one section to another. So if you have a flight reservations table here, which I've just selected and it looks like that and let's say I want to put it in the activities list sheet, I can do so by giving it, again, a click and a drag. Now, I've added it to the activity list. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's where I would want it and as you can see here, with that operation that I just did, I would probably want to rearrange some of the elements here in this table or in this sheet I should say. But if you want to undo, of course, you have to have the command key Z there to help rescue you if you make a click and a drag that you really don't want. So again, very simple to work with the sheets. The sheets pane is where it happens. To add sheets, click that button. Other than that, you're dealing with a sheet and you get a very good glimpse as to what that sheet contains.
