Numbers for the IPad
There is no drop-down date picker. This was confirmed with Apple support.
An astonishing deficiency for an app for work and productivity.
It appears you have to insert today’s date and then adjust it using the keypad!
Good heavens !!!!!!!! The programmer should be fired....

It appears you have to insert today’s date and then adjust it using the keypad!
No you don't!
The screenshot below is from Numbers for iPhone, but the result would be the same on the iPad.
Once you set the cell's format to date and time, you may type in any date you wish to start - it need not be "today". And, as shown in the keyboard below the cell, you may then augment it.
I can see both perspectives and see why they chose to do just the keyboard entry method, and I also agree that a date picker would be a nice feature to request (hint hint, the more people that follow the link and ask for it, the more likely it is to get implemented). IF they do it right.
Date pickers on most websites frustrate me. Especially when i need to look at a date months in the future, and they don't allow you to click the month or year to change, you have to click the next month button... over and over... and over.
Tell Apple how you feel about it here.
Here’s the date picker for FMgo an Apple-owned app on the Ipad - no endless clicking just a simple selection.,
The very unfortunate fact remains that there appears to be no date picker for numbers – Typing in a date is clumsy and keyboard augmentation is clumsy...
exactly, an example of it done right.
Use that when you follow Demos recommendation above to submit feedback, it would be helpful to give examples.
