In Numbers, is there a way to delete/modify old custom data formats for cells?
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), iOS 11.3
Funny enough, it seems to work on a new document and also copying the whole table (the whole table was fine, didn't have to copy the content onto another table) worked ok by also retaining the new custom format.
I then thought it could be because the document is shared with a friend so I shared the new document (to myself): it states as "shared" but no signs of issues with the custom data format.
hurrah. Well, yes, but this had happened before and I wish I knew why and how it happens... On a good side note, I can still copy the table and start afresh...
Thanks, Ian.

******** EDIT ******
No. I have now shared it with my friend (hence: a different Apple ID) and I've got into the same issue, again.
******* SECOND EDIT ****
Yep. It's consistent. I've ended the collaboration and I got the function back. Activated the sharing again and lost it. Well... now we know. Question would then be: is it intended to be so?

Hi Luca,
It is working OK here.
Try these steps one at a time:
If no improvement, you may need to delete and download Numbers again.

Ian.
Late edit:
Is it only that one document, or all Numbers documents?
Is there the same problem in a Pages table?

Hi Luca,
Sorry for not seeing v.5.0 edit 5576 😊.
I was working from here, where a Custom Format cell was selected.
You can still see all Custom Formats from any cell (for example this cell is Automatic)
All Custom Formats will be listed.
Thanks for making me explore! We learn something every day.
Regards,
Ian.
Thanks Ian
Like I wrote: v. 5.0 (5576)
Unfortunately, it doesn't show the button as available anymore and I can't find out why.
I can neither edit nor delete (nor create a new one)
Thanks
Luca
Hi Luca,
Thanks for your reply. The problem was collaboration! Your discovery will help other users.

Only Apple can answer that!
