Saving numbers spreadsheet on iPhone 5s

If you mean in the Numbers (as in creating or editing) there isn't anything you need to do. Saving is automatic. If you mean something else, you might describe the scenario in a little more detail.

Numbers for iPhone - Create and save a spreadsheet

Create a new spreadsheet

When you create a new spreadsheet, you choose either a blank template to which you can add tables, charts, text, and other objects, or an Apple-designed template that has placeholder elements including text, tables, and images. These templates, which are designed for purposes like personal finance, business, and education, give you a great starting point, and you can modify them however you like.

Create a new spreadsheet

1. In the spreadsheet manager, tap Create New.

2. Tap a template for your spreadsheet.

3. Do any of the following to customize your spreadsheet:

   • Tap a table cell to delete placeholder content and add your own.

   • Tap to add other tables, text boxes, shapes, and images.

   • Drag tables and objects on the sheet to arrange them.

Save and rename a spreadsheet

Numbers automatically saves your spreadsheet as you work so you don’t have to. You can rename the spreadsheet or make a copy of it in the spreadsheet manager.

Rename a spreadsheet

1. In the spreadsheet manager, tap a spreadsheet’s name.

2. Type a new name, then tap Done.

   To quickly delete the current name, tap the “x” in the text field.

Duplicate a spreadsheet

To create a new copy of a spreadsheet, duplicate the original spreadsheet.

1. In the spreadsheet manager, tap Edit.

2. Tap the spreadsheets you want to duplicate.

   To deselect a spreadsheet, tap it.

3. Tap , then if you selected more than one spreadsheet, tap Duplicate Spreadsheets.

   The duplicate spreadsheets appear with the word copy appended to their names.

I hope this information helps ....

I have created a .xls spreadsheet in Numbers that I would like to have show up on my iPhone's homescreen so I can tap on it and edit/add data to it. Is there any way for me to do this?
