Unable to Duplicate sheets in numbers when collaborating with other people using iCloud.

Greetings

Our group of collaborators seem to have a problem trying to duplicate sheets with in a spreadsheet via iCloud.

Normally you can click on the right side of a sheet with a drop down menu and the option to duplicate, but nothing happens. If you tap the sheet with two fingers then the option to Rename Sheet or Delete Sheet are shown.

Could you please explain if this is possible and how we would be able to go about this.

What we have found, the Owner of the sheet has to remove the collaboration. Then has to create the duplication, then share the sheet again with everyone. The problem with this is that a duplicated sheet is done on a daily basic.

Very frustrating that this fetcher not available, unless we are doing something incorrect.

Please help.

Regards

David

Zinacef, thank you for reply.

I do not want to duplicate a file or a selection of cells. I am working in the iCloud web browser and these options you are referring to are not available in iCloud. What you are referring to, is within Numbers on a Mac.

I want to duplicate a sheet within the spreadsheet. Please look at above image. Sep20, Sep19, Sep16 etc. I want to duplicate Sep20. When working in web browser you cannot use file or edit menu.

I hope you understand what I am saying.

Cheers

I'm having the same issue here using Numbers on Mac. I think Excel has this limitation too with shared spreadsheets. So is the only workaround to remove collaboration, duplicate the tab, then re-enable collaboration?
