How do I resize the column in numbers for the iPad

Hi, I have numbers app in my iPad and I can't figure out how to resize the columns. There are no column headers when I create a new spreadsheet, and I can't click between the columns and even when I turn wrap text off it doesn't resize just overlay.


I hope there has to be a way that I just can't figure out as it seems like a very simple task that should be obvious.

Tap on any cell in a table to bring up the table options. You'll see two bars above and to the left of the table. There is a dot in a circle on the top left, and two toggles to increase/decrease the number of rows or columns. To change the width of a column, tap in the bar above the table in the column which you want to resize, and that column will become highlighted. From here you can select multiple columns using the handles to resize multiple columns at once. In the bar at the top, there are two little dashes - drag this left and right to resize the column.
