How to drag a cell (or cells) in Numbers 3.0 ?

Single-Click the cell(s) that you want to move.

then Click-and-Hold - the cells will "lift" visually and you can drag them.

this one drove me insane Ross - hopefully this works for you too.

I have found that if you want to drag the contents of the cell, you can just select it(tripple click) and that lets you, in essence drag the cell from place to place.

I was having trouble dragging the whole table around. Previously you could just deselect and grab an edge, but now if you try to do that it just selects the table. I have discovered the circle in the upper left is for dragging around the entire table.

Same problem here, then I stumbled onto the answer:

If you highlight a cell that you want to drag you no longer grab the little dot on the corner.

Instead, highlight the cell (no need to double click), then let your cursor float over any of the cell's borders and a little yellow dot will appear. Grab this yellow dot to drag formulae, sequential numbers, etc.

Thank you guys. I was becoming crazy trying to figure out all possible Command/Option/Shift/Control + drag combinations until I read your post. Especially since the new Numbers does not offer the workable and unique Print view any more, I just assumed too quickly there was another crazyness in here...

Ross,

Double-Click, Drag works for me. This could be sensitive to how you have your trackpad setup.

Matt,

What you describe is Fill. Ross is looking for how to Move a cell or group of cells.

Hi Darello,

Thanks for that. I found it works well with a mouse. With a trackpad I found click and hold using the bottom left corner of the pad works the same as a mouse.

Thanks for this tip. The huge list of Keyboard Shortcuts in the Help menu don't *seem* to describe this one. Very nice!
