Live Editing Keynote presentation

I have a slide with a Numbers sheet with formulas in my Keynote presentation. I want to change the values in one cell during my presentation to show the result it has on another cell. Is that possible in Keynote while I am live presenting?

When Keynote is in Play, changes to any of the content on a slide, such as the values in a table, are unable to be made.

The workarounds I'v used are:


1 - Make a screen recording of the procedure using Quicktime Player (File > New Screen Recording)

Add the QuickTime file to Keynote at the appropriate slide


2 - Show Keynote in “edit “ mode, not in Play:

You can show the slide to look as if it is in Play mode by hiding the following:

View > Slide Only

View > Hide Toolbar (alt command T)

View > Inspector > Hide Inspector (alt command I)

View > Hide Rulers (command R)

View > Enter Full Screen (control command F)

Note that when in edit mode, builds and transition will not run

You can go from Play to edit and back to play at the appropriate times using the keyboard command: alt command P
