docs to go spreadsheet issue

I've put this on their forum. But no one is answering. Thought I'd try here...

Whenever I input a negative number into a cell, like -2.22, instead of what I type, I get something like 2E.+0. It doesnt seem to affect any calculations and when I highlight the cell -2.22 still shows up in the edit cell frame.

I've even tried using parenthesis instead, (2.22), but then it makes it '-2.22 in the frame and doesn't recognize it as a number box anymore for calculations. I'm guessing because it ads the apostrophe before the number.

Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

Check the cell formatting. Sounds like it's in Scientific notation rather than Number.

Cheers,

 

All I'm doing is putting -2.33 in the field when the weird sequence pops up.

 

As I said, check the cell formatting. Sounds like it's in Scientific notation rather than Number.

Tap on the cell and then formatting icon on the lower toolbar (2nd from left), click " ...More", then the "12" in the popup title bar, then "Category" and choose "Number", then "Done".

 

As soon as I select "category" the program freezes. Happened four times now.

Thanks for the help. I didn't get what you were saying earlier.

 

Try a reboot on the iPad: Hold down both buttons until the chrome Apple logo shows (takes about 10 full seconds, so keep holding both buttons until the logo). After this the iPad restarts and this will cure almost all issues that aren't app-based.

Ciao,

 

Did the reboot. Still freezing unfortunately.

 

Last thing I'd try is to recreate the file. Sounds as if the file is corrupt, unless you have this issue with other sheets too?

 

Opened a different file. Still crashing. I'll try a brand new file next...

 

Do you have the latest version of the app? This works on mine without an issue.

Try deleting the app from your iPad and downloading it again (you don't get charged).

Ciao,
