I feel like I just took a Master Class. You're flying through things in Numbers that I find an absolute PITA to do with Excel. Thank you for this video

I am a true beginner and honestly I felt as if I needed to know a few things before I watched this, thanks for the lesson I’ll comeback and learn from you after I learn the basic and shake off my frustration.

You have a relaxed style which is excellent for delivering complex training like this. Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks Gary.

I appreciate MacMost for the educational tutoring necessary to help new Mac users like myself.

Gary you are so knowledgeable and communicate the features so clearly & easily. I used to use Windows for Mac until I started learning more about Numbers. Your videos helped with that transition.

Wow! This is awesome! I had a bit of a meltdown today because I was so overwhelmed with my bookkeeping. I have dyscalculia and some PTSD over mathy things. I'm going to have to watch this many times. Thanks for this!

At 59 and retired I enjoyed your video. Wonderful video. I have been using Excel for years on an old HP with windows 7 😆 and just bought a MacBook Pro 14 so my mind is blown. Took me half a day to watch and take notes then create as you did. I have watched some basics on Mac so I loved the challenge of all the simple things like copy paste etc and when to 2x clicking columns!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

you are a lifesaver!!! i’ve been searching everywhere for simple software for my small business, but i knew there had to be a way to do this in Numbers, and i created it as i watched your video. ❤Thank You so much.

I have used Microsoft Office for many years and I was curious to see how feature rich Numbers is when compared to Microsoft Excel. I don't have a Mac as yet, but I think that Numbers will definitely meet all of my needs if I decide to purchase an Apple laptop. Thank you for the excellent video!

I knew I could do a lot more with spreadsheets than I was doing and this video showed me everything I needed to simplify my tax accounting reports! Thank you!

Thank you for this. Setting up my business accounts for the first time and this is really helpful. I pretty much made my spreadsheet with the formatting you did, I'll add anything needed as I go along.

This was the most valuable Mc Numbers tutorial I've ever seen on Yt so far. Just awesome and worth every minute watched. THANKS!

Thanks Gary for a well explained example. I was able to create a spreadsheet to let me know how much I spend in any given year on my Mastercard and where I use it. Very handy.

I think it is great that these videos are so unpolished yet so informative. Being a longterm Microsoft user and converting to Apple products, the transition has been enlightening and while Numbers does everything pretty much that Excel does it doesn't feel as intuitive but maybe that's over familiarity. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for that. New to Mac and find your tutorials better than most because you go reasonably slowly. Seniors need that. I’m tired of yelling stop, stop, stop at a video that is going light speed. 😬

THANK YOU!!!! You have guided us all through this process so brilliantly. Thank you so much, I have tried to play around with the Mac Numbers app for sooooo long & I just couldn't figure it out. Without you creating this video I would still be using pen & paper trying to calculate everything & given up on trying to work out how to use these sheets. This whole video is worth the watch & will help any one with their personal accounts or businesses forever THANK YOU!

Your video was extraordinarily helpful. I made my personal and business financial spreadsheet with an automated dashboard! Now I don't have to hunt down my mistakes, I can just use the formulas you showed me and display things so nicely. Thank you!!!

Thank you Gary! Your tutorial was awesome. I built my spreadsheets as I watched your video and now I am ready to start doing my bookkeeping. I love your videos!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE AWESOME INFORMATIONS YOU SHARED

I've just stumbled onto this when it appeared in my YT feed. Great job!. I've never really explored Numbers beyond using it a 'smart calculator' but this video has revealed so much more it can do.

Gary, thank you for this video! its just what i was looking for! trying to get our family organized on our finances and track where all of our money goes!! And most importantly where we are spending the most!! I saw the Personal Budget template but I wanted to do several different things and you answered my questions with this video. Thanks again!!

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Each business has different needs and each user has different abilities. If you really want to build your own (as opposed to using an accounting app/site) then you've got to come up with a spreadsheet that is customized for you. You can always work with a bookkeeper or accountant on it and let them help you.

I love when he’s like “just copy and paste” like bro. How tf did you do that. Nerds forget most of us run on about 1/30th of their understanding 😂

How can I add a collem for inventory for expences to remove from inventory from income sales?

Gary, thanks so much for sharing your expertise! I downloaded the file you shared but discovered I am getting an error when adding subsequent rows in the "Is Year" hidden column. The formula is not following down the column and is instead marking the cell with a blue triangle note which says "The formula was replaced with its last calculated value." Why is the formula not continuing to function when rows are added and how can I correct it? I have to recopy and re-paste the formula to subsequent rows as a work-around.

Hi Gary. Thanks for all the great videos. I added an image of a receipt to my business spreadsheet cell to correspond to the entry but I can’t subsequently open it to see it again when I need to. Any advice? Regards.

If you added an image to a cell it is now just the background of the cell. That's all you can do with it. A Numbers spreadsheet is no a good place to "store" receipts. Instead, just put the well-named file in a folder in the Finder that contains your receipts in case you need it. This will also save you from ending up with a massive Numbers file.

Maybe I missed it in the video but I was wondering how to make a blank template (without any values entered) out of a created spreadsheet so that I can use it as a blank template. thanks for the videos. Ive learned so much in the past 24 hours from you and I've never used spreadsheets in my life.

Hi Gary, great tutorial, thank you!! I have a question about the functionality of a formula within a cell when the filter is on. When adding a new row in the Expenses table and the “Text is true” filter is turned on, the true/false function “a=b” in the “Is Year” cell of this newly created row appears broken: “The formula was replaced with its last calculated value.” I noticed that when turning the filters off this does not happen. Is there a way to make the a=b formula work when having the filter on? Maybe a tweaked formula of some sort? This would make the table more workable in the future when I have years of input in the table. ;-)

No you should always only add rows when the filters are off.

Awsome presentation- my only thing is a “preface” stating that “sheets” feature Carrie’s a relevancy from one sheet to another* … I was not following the jumping between the “ sheets” wholly …

Sumif does not populate after entering in conditions (for me at least.) It leaves totals at zero. I used sumproduct instead.

One year late, but I did enjoy and learned from this video. I do have two questions. 1) In the cells with a formula in it, how do you protect them from a user overwritten them? 2) On your summary table, if a new category is added in the detail tables, can that new entry be automatically added to the summary table? Gary, as always, you are an excellent teacher and I thank you for sharing that knowledge with us.

1) You can't lock a cell, only a whole table. 2) You'll need to add it to the second table yourself.

I use NUMBERS app once a month for Inventory for a place I work at. My father has a nice graph sheet of each coin detailed on every line using the BLANK template (NOT CHECKLIST) Now, I want to know if theres a better way to add a picture of the coin on each line without having to take up 3-4 lines worth which makes the graph extremely stretched out & long.

Depends on the bank. Usually a bank should allow you to download a CSV file. Get that and you can open it in Numbers. Then copy and paste what you want into your own spreadsheet.

Yes. You can build it that way. You can just use the Find command in Numbers, or you can create something more complex with formulas, filters, other tables, etc. It depends on your spreadsheet skills.

Hi, very nice video, thanks. I have a question. Is it possible to have pop up menus depending on an entry? Let’s guess for example I choose the category “travel”. Then on the adjacent column I would like a subcategory pop up menu where I could choose among train, airline, car, etc... Or if I’d selected the main category as “meals”, the subcategory popup menu would be updated with “restaurant, takeaway, pub, etc...”. Is this doable? Many thanks

Hello, Gary. A couple of years ago, I watched you do a different video on a basic business spreadsheet. I can no longer find it on your channel. Specifically, I remember you setting up the spreadsheet, and then you created a column called the Due Flag and its input was either a 0 or a 1. Does this ring a bell and is this video somewhere on your channel. Thank you.
