Display formula in Numbers

Is there any way to make Numbers display a formula?

I want it to display the formula in a header cell that will be used in that row.

Pages has an option to use LaTeX but I can't find it in Numbers.

Ahhh, i see now. You dont want to show the formulas as they are in the cells being calculated, you want to have a header that shows what formulas are being done in the column cells below the header.


Sorry, but you already discovered that Numbers doesn't do Latex (as far as you and I can find). But since Pages does, I have a quick workaround.


Do the Latex in Pages, then take a screenshotof the Latex style formula, and use the copy/paste you already discovered and put it as the header background in numbers.


I know its not perfect, but maybe it might be a workaround that will work for you,
