Use sheets in Numbers on Mac
You can add multiple sheets (or tabs) to a spreadsheet to help you better organize your tables, charts, and other information. For example, you could separate your party planning into sheets for the budget, seating chart, vendor information, and task list.

Organize sheets
Do any of the following:
Rename a sheet: Double-click its name, then type a new one.
Duplicate a sheet: Move the pointer over the right side of a tab, click the arrow that appears, then choose Duplicate.
Delete a sheet: Move the pointer over the right side of a tab, click the arrow that appears, then choose Delete.
Tip: You can also use tabs to jump to a specific table or chart on a sheet, which is particularly useful for very large sheets. Move the pointer over the right side of a tab, click the arrow that appears, then choose a table or chart.
If your spreadsheet includes bidirectional text (text written in both left-to-right and right-to-left languages), you can also reverse the direction of your sheets. See Use bidirectional text in tables in Numbers on Mac.
