Creating Tables

Autofilling doesn’t set up an ongoing relationship among cells in the selection. After

autofilling, you can change the data, number formatting, or formula in any of the cells

in the selection.

To autofill a range of cells:

1

Select the cell whose data, number formatting, or formula you want to paste into

other cells.

2

Select adjacent cells to autofill, making sure that the cell whose contents you want to

paste is the upper-left cell in the group. Cells in the selection can be in the same row

or column and in adjacent rows or columns, but they must be contiguous. See

“Selecting Table Cells” on page 96 for selection instructions.

3

In the Numbers pane of the Table Inspector, click the Fill button.

Using Formulas

You can add a formula to a table cell to display a value derived using values in other

table cells. A formula is a set of operations for deriving a value.

For example, you can add a formula to the bottom cell of a column that sums the

numbers in all the other cells in the column. If any of the column values change, the

total in the bottom cell changes automatically.

Formulas derive values by using operators or functions.

 Operators perform operations such as addition (+) and multiplication (*).

 Functions are predefined, named operations, such as SUM and AVERAGE.

Paste the contents of the
upper-left selected cell into
the other selected cells.
