Changing the subject to capture the information in regard to spreadsheets and IPADS use. I too have significant doubts as to how someone using an IPAD would compare to someone using a PC to work with Excel. I tried Numbers, both on a MAC and an IPhone, but found it clunky at best. If someone can explain how to use Numbers or Excel on an IPad or Iphone in a comparable way as using one on a Windows PC I would very much love to hear about it.
Excel has so many helpful key commands in Windows that IOS just can't duplicate, or at least does not duplicate. For instance, in working with a large spreadsheet, you can use home/(left,right,up,or down) to go to the last cell with data in which ever direction. That is simply something I have not seen any way of doing on IOS. This is not to mention all of the items listed in a previous post.
