In Numbers for OS X is there a way to "seed" information to all sheets for quick retrieval? In other words, if I type "XYZ" on sheet 1 the next time I type "x" I'm offered "XYZ". I'd like to carry this to sheet 2, sheet 3, etc.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

As you may have discovered, if you have 'Show suggestions when editing table cells' checked in Numbers > Preferences then Numbers will give you suggestions based on values you have entered above in the same column you are working on. It won't make suggestions based on other columns or other tables or sheets.


However, you might consider formatting your cells as Pop-up Menu.

The same Pop-up Menu can be used in multiple places.
