Touch Bar for Numbers on Mac
If your Mac has a Touch Bar, you can use familiar gestures — such as tap, swipe and slide — directly on the Touch Bar to edit spreadsheets in Numbers. Controls on the Touch Bar change depending on what’s selected in your spreadsheet.
For example, if a table is selected, the Touch Bar shows controls for adding or removing rows and columns.
Tap Format when a cell is selected to see formatting options for your data.
Tap Formula when a cell is selected to choose from common formulas or insert your own.
Show controls for Numbers
If you don’t see the controls for editing text and performing other tasks in Numbers, turn them on in System Settings (or System Preferences). Do one of the following:
macOS Ventura 13 or later: Choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Keyboard in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.) Click Touch Bar Settings on the right, click the pop-up menu next to “Touch Bar shows”, then choose App Controls.
macOS 12 or earlier: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard. Next, click the Keyboard button, click the pop-up menu next to “Touch Bar shows”, then choose App Controls.
You can find more information about how to use the Touch Bar in the macOS User Guide.
