Grabbing/Selecting Cells in iMac Numbers

Grabbing Cells in Numbers. For some reason one day I was able to select more than one cell at a time and now I can not! Any suggestions on how to fix this?


Thank you

Hi jv,


A description of the actions you take when attempting to select more than one cell at a time might help determine what is causing the issue.


Meantime, my response to a similar question may provide some insight.


Regards,

Barry

If you are trying to grab a block of cells by clicking and dragging (a very handy feature in Numbers!) then that can sometimes be a little tricky, at least using a trackpad. If you press too hard or you wait too long only one cell is grabbed before you have time to move the cursor to select other cells and drag them as a block.


A relatively light press followed by a quick drag of the cursor works here to select a block of cells rather than just one cell. After they are selected a "deep" press and the whole block can be dragged elsewhere in the table or onto the canvas of the sheet to form a new table.
