Using Tables

m

Select the table and then choose one of the following from the Table menu: Add
Header Row, Delete Header Row, Add Header Column, or Delete Header Column.

m

If a table spans pages and you want to repeat headers at the top of each page, select
“Repeat header cells on each page” in the Table Options area of the Table Inspector.

The cells in a header row or header column are referred to as header cells. Header cells
play an important role in making formulas in table cells easier to read and create. See
“Using Cell References” on page 91 and “Applying a Formula Once to Cells in a Column
or Row” on page 93 t
o learn more.

Using a Footer Row

Use a footer row when you want to draw attention to the last row in a table. A footer
row can contain the same content as any other row, but its formatting makes it visually
prominent.

Here are ways to add or delete a footer row:

m

Select the table and then click the Footer button in the Format Bar.

If the table has no footer row, one is added. If the table has a footer row, it’s deleted.

m

Select the table. Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Table Inspector button, and
then click the appropriate Headers & Footer button.

If the table has no footer row, one is added. If the table has a footer row, it’s deleted.

m

Select the table and then choose Add Footer Row or Delete Footer Row from the Table
menu.

Hiding Rows and Columns

Hide specific rows or columns when you want to avoid showing or using them but
don’t want to delete them. While a row or column is hidden, it can’t be reformatted,
merged, split, or otherwise manipulated. However, any formula that uses a hidden cell
isn’t affected, and sorting takes hidden values into account.

To hide a row or column:

m

Choose Hide Row or Hide Column from a row or column reference tab’s pop-up menu.

To show hidden rows and columns, choose Table > Unhide All Rows or Table > Unhide
All Columns.

Rows or columns that are hidden in Numbers tables aren’t visible when the tables are
copied into other iWork ’08 applications. To see the hidden rows, select the table and
choose Format > Table > Unhide All Rows or Unhide All Columns.
