Quickly calculate a sum, average and more in Numbers on iPad
You can make calculations in your table without having to insert a formula or function.
Make quick calculations for a range of cells
Select the column or row (or the range of cells) whose calculations you want to see.
Tap at the bottom of the screen, then tap the formula you want to use.
If you selected an entire row, tap or , then tap the formula you want to use.
The result of the formula appears at the end of your selection.
Use the Formula Editor like a calculator
You can enter number values in formulas to make calculations, just as you would in a calculator.
Tap a blank cell where you want to add your formula, then type the equals sign (=) to open the Formula Editor.
Type the equation you want to calculate, using values and arithmetic operators (for example, + ,- , * and /).
For example, if you type the equal sign (=), then type “1+1” in the Formula Editor, the cell returns the result of 2. You can also use brackets; if you type 4+6*(3-1), the cell returns the result of 16.
