If you want to insert formulas in a Google spreadsheet from your iPad, you can use the same trick. Just click
Go to spreadsheet view at the top of the mobile view to try out the full version of Google spreadsheets. You can now insert formulas in from the editable formula bar.
Of course, mobile and even tablet browsers are still not as powerful as their desktop counterparts, which is why we recently launched the
mobile-optimized version of the Google documents editor for the iPad.
But we figured for one-off times when you need to make an advanced change, that Desktop link might be just what you’re looking for.
