Formula Tools

derived using a calculation. Numbers has several tools for working with formulas in
table cells:
 The Formula Editor lets you create and modify formulas. Open the Formula Editor by
selecting a table cell and typing the equal sign (=). You can also open it by choosing
Formula Editor from the Function pop-up menu in the toolbar.
Learn more about this editor in “Using the Formula Editor” on page 88.
 The Formula Bar, always visible beneath the Format Bar, can also be used to create
and modify formulas.
