Intro to tables, charts, and other objects in Numbers for iCloud
An object is any item you add to a spreadsheet. In Numbers for iCloud, tables, charts, text boxes, shapes, images, video, and audio are all objects. To add objects to your spreadsheet, click an object button in the toolbar.

After you add an object, you can move it anywhere on the sheet, add content to it, and change its appearance using the controls in the Format sidebar on the right.

You can layer objects on a sheet, resize them, nest them so they appear inline with the text inside a text box or shape, and more.
Note: You can also add a 3D object to your spreadsheet using Numbers for Mac, Numbers for iPhone, or Numbers for iPad, but if you open the spreadsheet in Numbers for iCloud, the 3D object will look like a 2D object. To add or edit a 3D object, see Add 3D objects in Numbers for Mac, Add 3D objects in Numbers for iPhone, or Add 3D objects in Numbers for iPad.
