Hi There I do this all the time on Numbers. First, when you press command O en a file, you should get the messaje that you are on layout. There are some other choices, but that's the one you want first. You need to interact on that one. Then, you should get a choice of tables. You can add tables somehow so that you have more than one, and I have done this accidentally. If you have done nothing yet to your file, you should have only one. Interact again on the table. Then you can see your rows and columns just like in Excel. VoiceOver does consider, as a default, the first row and the first column to be headers, which tells VoiceOver to let you know where you are. It announces these rows and columns for you as you move from place to place.
I will say that right now there seems to be a bug in the new version of Numbers that the computer slows way down on very large files. I have one that is over 100 rows, and it's slow to use. I have reported this to Apple. I hope they fix it soon. But for smaller files, this should not be a problem. With these big files, the pro#more seems to be with editing the cells. Copying and pasting doesn't seem to be a problem. However, after having said that, I can make it work ok, even though with a braille display it is possible to need to force quit like I had to do yesterday. If you're using a braille display, turning grade 2 braille off might help.
