What has been lost in Numbers 3.0 upgrade?

The first time you choose Media from the fixed toolbar, it takes a considerable amount of time to load in Numbers 3; much longer than in the previous version. Also, the lack of ability to search wastes a lot of time finding the photo you want to insert.

Sorry, I didn't mean autofill, I meant autocomplete, which I believe is missing from Numbers 3, unless someone knows different!

Jose,

If you mean when you're typing in a column it will automatically insert a value after you've typed a few letters, based on what you have typed before in that column, then that's gone.

You can format the cells in that column as pop-up and set up a list in there to save typing. There's no keyboard shortcut like the old spacebar to activate the pop-up list but it's still pretty convenient for me. And using a pop-up will keep your data cleaner. No typos (not capitalizing when it should, etc., etc.) creep in.

I believe you can still make and use custom cell formats - but in a roundabout and disappointing way.

1) Make the custom cell / number / etc. format in Excel.

2) Save the Excel file.

3) Open the Excel file in Numbers. The custom format will be properly imported to Numbers.

4) Copy the cell from the Numbers file you just opened into your desired Numbers file.

I think I'm going to make a special Excel file just to copy and paste the special formats I need.

Numnbers 3.0 is amazingly good at importing Excel .xlsx files. The only trouble I had was when the Excel file was password protected; I had to remove that protection or Numbers would crash.

Has anyone figured out how to "Find & Repalce" arguements within formulas in Numbers 3.0 yet ?

You don't have to figure anything out. iWork9 is still in your applications folder. Use it until Apple comes to its senses and a newer version actually has inprovements.

Check your applications folder and you should find the previous version of iWork.

Then when Apple comes to its senses you can upgrade.

Yeah, that's just great. Tossed #s 3 in the trash after two days of frustration. Now I have to re download to export the files I used back to #s 2 so I can open them again. Steve must be spinning.

Missing that too and haven't found it yet.

I don't know how to import text files by Drag & Drop.

The files should still be in your applications folder, iWork

Thx Jerry

Thx SGIII.

I already tried information in the formula pane but sometimes that information isn't enough to find the error(s) in the formula.

Reorganise is a real blow for me. I use that option more often than not.

Also are the developers going blind because seriously how much realestate do they need and 125% as default with no option to change the default, What's the wrong with 100% being default?.

I just want to change the margins to .25" - has anyone figured out how to do this simple task?
