Can Numbers be used on the iPad Pro with built-in keyboard?

Can/ should Numbers be used on the iPad Pro with the built-in keyboard? Specifically, are there up/down arrows (hidden?) in the keyboard? Looking for a way to move up and down columns on a spreadsheet but after searching around on the internet can't seem to find a way. Have a Logitech external keyboard but sometimes just want to disconnect and input numbers while standing at a board. Thanks for any replies or suggestions.

You certainly use Numbers on an iiPad without a physical keyboard, but no, there are no arrow keys to move between cells though.

You can directly tap a cell with your finger to select it and start typing. It's quicker than navigating with arrow keys.

If you select the 123 button at the top of the keyboard, you do get a "Next->" key. To move to the next cell in the row and a larger "Next ⮐", to drop to the next cell in the column.
