Keyboard for entering numerical values

Use the number keys on this keyboard to enter numerical data in cells. Special characters on the keyboard allow you to add a star rating or a checkbox to a cell, or to format the value in the cell as a currency unit or as a percentage.

When you double-tap an empty, unformatted cell, the numeric keyboard opens by default. You can also open it by tapping Number keyboard button to the left of the input bar, above the keyboard.
