How to remove all disable all hyperlinks in iCloud Numbers at the same time

Whenever I copy/paste a web page or email address in a Numbers cell, it automatically creates a hyperlink. I want to disable this feature so that I always have plain text. I searched the web; I saw some links stating that you have to use the "Inspector" to disable the hyperlink. Well, Numbers doesn't have "Inspector". Is there a setting somewhere in Numbers where I can just simply uncheck the auto-hyperlink feature? It's annoying when trying to copy/paste URLs or emails which jump to the web site or open a mail app.

I believe if you want to disable all those links that were previously made, once you have that setting turned off,

Select cells that have links,
Copy,
Paste & Match Style

I do not know how to do any of this in iCloud. This is the Numbers for Mac OS forum. I assume the same things can be done in iCloud.

How do you get the Menu bar (containing the Edit option) to show up?

This is the Numbers for Mac forum. It's kind of hard to get the menu not to show up!

From your user name I'm now guessing you are using Numbers for iCloud. You could try asking here. But Numbers for Mac has a lot more features than Numbers for iCloud so I suspect that to do what you want you will need to use Numbers for Mac.
