Sheets

What are sheets?

Sheets in cDox work like the spreadsheets you already know. You get a grid of cells, formulas, multiple tabs, and formatting options. They're designed to be fast and simple — not to replace Excel for complex financial models, but perfect for budgets, lists, data tracking, and everyday number work.

Creating a sheet

Click the + button in the bottom-right corner of the dashboard and choose Sheet. Your new sheet opens immediately with a blank grid. You can also import a .csv file, which will automatically become a sheet.

Getting around the grid

Click any cell to select it. You'll see its reference (like A1 or C5) appear in the formula bar above the grid. Use the arrow keys to move from cell to cell. The grid automatically scrolls to keep the active cell visible at all times.

Tab moves you one cell to the right. If you're in the last column, a new column is added automatically. Enter moves you down a row, and if you're at the last row, new rows are added. Escape deselects everything.

To select multiple cells, click one cell then hold Shift and click another. All cells between them will be selected. You can also select an entire row or column by clicking its row number or column letter in the headers.

Editing cells

There are three ways to start editing a cell: double-click it, press Enter, or just start typing. The third option replaces the existing content, while the first two let you edit what's already there.

The formula bar above the grid is especially useful for cells with long content or formulas. Click into it to edit the active cell's content in a more comfortable space. On mobile, this is often the easiest way to edit.

Tabs

Each sheet can have up to 6 tabs. You'll find them in the tab bar at the bottom of the grid. Click + to add a new one. Each tab has its own grid, its own data, its own frozen rows and columns.

The best part: you can reference cells from other tabs in your formulas. For example, =Sheet2!A1 pulls the value from cell A1 in Sheet2. This is really handy for creating summary sheets or separating raw data from calculations.

Working with rows and columns

Click a row number or column letter to select the entire row or column. Once selected, the toolbar gives you access to several actions:

• Insert a row above or below, or a column left or right
• Delete the entire row or column
• Clear the contents without removing the row or column itself
• Freeze to keep headers visible while scrolling
• Sort a column ascending or descending

Undo and redo

Each tab keeps its own undo history (up to 50 actions). Use Cmd+ Z to undo and Cmd+ Shift+ Z to redo. You can also use the buttons in the toolbar.

Copy, cut, and paste

Use Cmd+ C to copy, Cmd+ X to cut, and Cmd+ V to paste. This works with individual cells, cell ranges, entire rows, and entire columns. You can even paste data from an external spreadsheet — columns and rows are automatically detected.
