FIND TEXT IN NUMBERS NOT WORKING

When I choose find or find and replace the area is simply greyed out and I am unable to input data here. Please help!

Thank you for your email and response. However, this did not work for me, and have tried it many times. I did find a short video (a little over a minute) showing me another way to open the find/find and replace. So easy, and I am embarrassed I did not think of this. Please see the video here: https://youtu.be/p0CvVztQ5dM?si=g5lneo0J1fdNCv79


Just opened my numbers, find and replace not working (had not been for months despite my searching and trying many methods), but took this gentleman's advice and went to edit in the top menu bar of my safari, scrolled down to "find" and opened it that way. Miraculously, the find option on the numbers sheet itself then started to work! Has been since yesterday after opening and closing numbers. I hope others find this useful!


Thank you again for your response and I do hope others can see this.

I'm sorry. I don't see the relevance of the question? It is a you tube video entitled "How to Search in Apple Numbers Spreadsheet". I synopsed how it worked for me. You simply open your "numbers" on your iMac, and if one is having the problem with the greyed out numbers then following the steps I provided it worked for me and I sincerely hope it works for others. Opening Safari has nothing to do with it.


Thank you again :)
