You can add content to table cells in several ways. You can type new content, copy and paste content from somewhere else, or let Pages complete patterns for you with autofill. You can always edit or clear a cell after you add content to it.
As you type, Pages shows a list of previous entries that you can choose from to speed up data entry. If you don’t want to see the autocomplete list, you can turn it off in Pages preferences.
Note: If you can’t add content to a table, make sure it’s unlocked. Click the Arrange tab at the top of the sidebar on the right, then click Unlock (if Unlock is dimmed, the table isn’t locked). If you don’t see a sidebar, or the sidebar doesn’t have an Arrange tab, select the table, then click 
in the toolbar.
Do any of the following:
Add content to an empty cell: Click the cell then start typing.
As you type in a cell, Pages shows a list of autocomplete suggestions if autocomplete is enabled. This list includes any text previously entered in that column, excluding header or footer text. Press the Tab key to scroll through the list. When the suggestion you want is selected, press the Return key to enter it in the cell.
Edit content: Double-click the cell to make the insertion point appear, then type. To move the insertion point, click where you want it, then type.
Replace content: Click the cell, then start typing. The existing content is overwritten.
Delete all content: Click the cell, then press Delete on your keyboard.
If you don’t want to see the autocomplete list, you can turn it off in Pages preferences. Choose Pages > Preferences (from the Pages menu at the top of your screen), click General at the top of the window, then deselect “Show suggestions when editing table cells.”
Select the cells.
Do one of the following:
Remove the content but preserve the cells’ data format, text style, and cell style: Press Delete.
Remove all data, formatting, and styling: Choose Edit > Clear All (from the Edit menu at the top of your screen).
You can quickly fill cells, or a row or column, with the same data or a logical sequence of data—for example, a series of numbers, letters, or dates.
Do any of the following:
Autofill one or more cells with content from adjacent cells: Select the cells with the content you want to copy, then move the pointer over a border of the selection until a yellow autofill handle appears. Drag the handle over the cells where you want to add the content.
Any data, cell format, formula, cell border, or fill associated with the selected cells is added, but comments aren’t. Autofilling overwrites existing data with the value you’re adding.
Autofill cells with sequential content or patterns from adjacent cells: Type the first two items of the series in the first two body cells (not header or footer cells) of the row or column you want to fill; for example, type A and B. Select these cells, move the pointer over a border of the selection until a yellow autofill handle appears, then drag the handle over the cells you want to fill.
You can also autofill cells using a pattern of values. For example, if two selected cells contain 1 and 4, the values 7 and 10 are added when you drag over the adjacent two cells (values are incremented by 3).
Autofilling doesn’t establish an ongoing relationship among cells in the group. After autofilling, you can change the cells independently of each other.
When you autofill cells, any formulas that refer to those cells are updated automatically to use the new value.
As you type in a cell, Pages can show a list of autocomplete suggestions. This list includes any text previously entered in that column, but not header or footer text. Autocomplete is on by default, but you can turn it off or on at any time.
Choose Pages > Preferences (from the Pages menu at the top of your screen).
Click General at the top of the preferences window.
In the Editing section, select or deselect “Show suggestions when editing table cells.”
You can temporarily highlight a cell’s row and column in blue as you move the pointer over a table. In a large table, this can help you identify column and row references for specific cells.
Hold down the Option key while you move the pointer over a cell.
