I can click inside this sheet here and I can click the little circle here to the upper left or you can use the trick where you do Select Parent and now I've selected that whole table. So let's go back to the first spreadsheet here.
So this could be fairly quick and it works with just about any selection in Numbers. Or if you do actually want to print to paper you can just go Print here and print it out.

So all you need to do is Save and you'll be saving this out as a PDF file wherever you want it. Well at this point, when you're in Preview it is a PDF. Now for most of us printing actually means saving as a PDF. Numbers and Preview work together so that you can send the selection from Numbers into Preview and give you a nice little area to print out. When I do that you get a little document here that's exactly what I selected in Numbers. As a matter of fact Command N will get you there.
So with Preview launched, you can see I'm running it up here, I can go to File and you can see New From Clipboard is the default for New. I can do it here with Spotlight or you may have it in your Dock already. All you're going to do with this selected is Copy. In using Preview you can do this fairly quickly. Now how do I print just that? Well there's no way to do it with just Numbers but there's a helper tool that comes with your Mac that can be used in all sorts of different ways called Preview. So I've selected here now the first 20 rows. So I could select this row by clicking on the number to the left. So how can you do that? Let's say you wanted to print the first 20 rows here. So this is a little similar to what you might use in Excel and here you just might want to print a section of this. Looking at the second sheet here it's just a long list of transactions. However that doesn't stop people from wanting to print just a portion of what they see on the screen. You have maximum flexibility.īut with that flexibility comes an issue when you try to print because you can't just simply say I only want to print a section of this because it doesn't really make sense when you have multiple elements on the screen. I could make the columns different widths and heights and everything. I could make it a different size, a different shape. I could create another table here and I could stick it wherever I want. With Numbers I could just add as many tables as I want. So everything has to be designed to fit in with the rows and columns here iIf you want to have multiple things on the same sheet. You can see here there are columns across the top and each one of these things is a cell or group of cells in a column and a row. Here you can see well there's some charts and what look like different tables but in fact they're not. You've got columns and you've got rows that stretches as far as you want in this sheet.Įven spreadsheets that seem to have multiple elements really don't. You can see there is no white space and there are no multiple tables. Excel is very different in that a sheet goes edge to edge just cells.
So we have five different elements here just laid out on the canvas of this sheet. A table is what we usually think of in Excel as a spreadsheet. In this case there's a text box, another text box, a chart here, another chart, and there's a table here. It's just a large white space where you could add all sorts of different things. In this case this one has a budget sheet and a transaction sheet. In Numbers you can have a document which is has multiple sheets in it. Taking a look here in Numbers one of the things we have to acknowledge about Numbers is that it is fundamentally different than Excel. A lot of people previously used Microsoft Excel and Excel allows you to setup a print area and just print that area of the spreadsheet.
