Copy, move or delete cell content in Numbers on iPad

Copy or move cell content

When you copy a cell, or move a cell’s data to a new location in the table, the cell’s properties are also copied or moved, including its data format, fill, border and comments.

Select the cells you want to copy or move.
Do one of the following:
- Paste and overwrite existing content: Tap Copy (if you can’t see Copy, tap the selected cells again). Select the top-left cell where you want to paste the data, then tap Paste (if you can’t see Paste, tap the cell again).
  If your data range contains formulas, tap Paste Formulas or Paste Values. The data overwrites any existing data.
- Move the data: Touch and hold the selection until the cells appear to rise off the table, then drag them to another location in the table. Existing data is replaced by the new data.
- Paste outside an existing table to create a new table: Tap Copy (if you can’t see Copy, tap the selected cells again). Tap the sheet outside the table, tap the sheet again to see the contextual menu, then tap Paste. A new table is created with the pasted cells.

You can also copy cells from a table in another spreadsheet or from Pages or Keynote.

Delete content from cells

Select one or more cells, then tap Delete (if you can’t see Delete, tap the cell again).
