issue inputting data in Google Sheets app

Hi community,

I had posted a while back wanting some insight on Google Sheets, and a lot of you told me the iOS app was better, so that's what I went with.

Unfortunately, I'm having a bit of trouble with it, so hoping someone here could help.

For context, this is for a class, so the sheet is already filled out and it's just a matter of inputting the data into the sheet.

For specific cells, like A1, for example, we're told there's supposed to be a dropdown menu of items to choose from. However, VoiceOver says selected A1, and it says context menu, but there's nothing there.

I'm also unclear as to how to even input text data into any of these cells. When I select the edit option at the bottom, it just wants to edit the text that's in the cell, like the question that's asked of us and I don't want to do that.

Hopefully this is making sense. I wanted to reach out here before I reach out for extra help from an instructor of the class, because maybe I'm just missing something.

Thanks!
