How do I restrict Find to specific sheets

Hi, I'm a former EXCEL user but a newbie to Numbers


I'm surprised to find that when I use the Find command it returns all the hits from all the sheets in the file. (Is it called a workbook in Numbers?) Can I restrict the Find command to just one sheet, or a selected number of sheets? Thanks, Rick

As far as I know, the built-in interface doesn't permit the Find to be restricted to one sheet or a selected number of sheets.


It would be possible to fashion an Automator Service (which would appear in your Numbers > Services menu) that would provide similar functionality. If you really depend on this in your workflow, post and I'll try to revise a script I have.


Also, you could give feedback to Apple in your Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback menu.
