Using Numbers, but can't figure out how to insert cells into a table without adding a whole row. Excel does that but does Numbers?

Wow, I didn't think Lotus was still available! I used AmiPro for Years and Loved it!

So, the Lotus Symphony works on a Macbook Pro Lion?

Would you be so kind as to share where I can get the free copy? Is it in the App store?

I listed all the options for spreadsheet programs. I listed, and Jerry added, programs as they came to mind. The point is that the the options for spreasheet programs for the Mac OS X platform are at least several. I cannot comment on reviews of MS Excel. I use excel at work but try to use Numbers where/when I can.

Google can assist in locating any of the installers. All of these are spreasdsheet programs of office clones (word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, etc).

Since switching to Numbers I have come to appreciate the simplicity. Many things I used to think were features in MS Excel are now less useful-- mostly becuase I can use separate tables to contain related data.

Since you have Numbers consider presenting a real example of what you are trying to do (the data you presented earlier is clearly contrived). There are people here that are very willing to help and enjoy looking for the best solution.

Yes, you all are Extremely kind in sharing your time and knowledge, and it is Truly appreciated.

I am not as savvy as you all are in showing a real example with step by step screen shots, so my apologies if my question seems 'contrived'..it is not.

I use a spreadsheet to copy and paste student comments and my comments back to the student , each week.

Each week's text is put into one row.

Rather than putting the information at the end of the row, I put similiar information next to each other..Ex: student comment in one cell, next cell my comment....which causes the need to insert a blank cell and paste. Make sense?

That said, I will take your terrific advice, and do Google searchs before I request assistance.

Again, thanks for your time and information.

Update:

I just finished downloading Lotus. Perfect! The spreadsheet is laid out Exactly the way I need it..with multiple sheets down at the bottom, rather than listed separately on the side...and does Exactly what I need it to do, insert cells with a simple one step right click of the mouse.

Thank You! Thank You! I may be able to wean myself off Dell afterall 😝

Hi Margie,

See Jerry's suggested workflow in the post just before yours.

Margie,

If you had data overridden, you may not have understood the instructions because what you described won't happen if the procedure is followed properly.

Jerry

"Why am I trying to stick with Numbers?"....Because there are no other options 😢

Thanks for trying to make it easier...

In Kindness,

Margie

There are, indeed, options...

Number

MS Excel

LibreOffice (Free Office Clone)

NeoOffice (Free Office Clone)

Add to Wayne's list; IBM Lotus Symphony. Acts like Excel but with a nicer-looking user interface, and also free.

Jerry

Bless you! I am off to Lotus Land! 🙂
