Add and delete tables

Numbers provides predesigned table styles for each template. After adding a table, you can customize it however you like. You can add as many tables as you want to a sheet.

Drag the table handle to move it.

Add a new table

  1. Click Table in the toolbar, then select a table layout.

    Click the left and right arrows to see more style options.

  2. To type in a cell, click the cell, then enter your content.

To change the appearance of the table or its cells, use the tools in the Table, Cell, Text, or Arrange panes of the Format inspector.

Edit or hide a table name

When you add a table, it has a placeholder name (such as Table 1), which you can change or hide. Each table on a sheet must have a unique name.

Do any of the following:

Delete a table

Note:  If a table is linked to a form added in Numbers for iOS, deleting the table clears the form.
