As part of minimising my use of Google products I’m trying to convert a Google Docs spreadsheet to Numbers. This particular sheet has several cells that have a “name” than can be used in formulas. This seems to be a feature that Google copied from Microsoft Excel.
Somehow I can’t find this in Numbers. Does Numbers (not) support this?
If not, how do you work around this?
If you have a header row and column then Numbers will automatically give the data inside that cell a name I have found.
Here’s an example of what @RosemaryOrchard described
Note that you can refer to cell B2 as the intersection of the column and row names: “Apple Blueberry” or “Blueberry Apple” – Numbers recognizes both.
From what I’ve googled, there isn’t a way to name a particular cell.
You might use some sort of lookup table with the vlookup function, and possibly the indirect function, but this would be much more convoluted than the formula itself.
