I have a question regarding Mac.

I am working on 3 files in Numbers app. I need them open at the same time.
I need to switch from Numbers spreadsheet 3 to Google and back for every data that I input.

So while in Numbers spreadsheet #3, I command + tab to go to Chrome then I I command + tab to go back into the spreadsheet that I was working on but it will for some reason always go back to another spreadsheet and not to the spreadsheet where I was originally from.

Why does it do this? It is driving me nuts.
I expanded all the files already but no difference.

I always need more steps to perform a task as compared with Windows.
2 years on and I still hate using Mac. It is really stressful.

tried closing all the files and closing Numbers altogether, restart, shut down but it keeps on doing the same BS.

Ya I have been contemplating buying Excel cause I dont really like using Numbers but now I feel like I should just switch back to Windows laptop. Sick of all this niggling issues when I use it for work.

But for entertainment, it is incredible. Good sounds, blazing fast even after years.

Try trashing the Numbers. Logout. Login. And re-download it from AppStore. Do your Backup first.
