How do I save a numbers spreadsheet on my iPad as a template?

I have created a Spreadsheet on my iPad for staff to record time and materials on site an I would like to save it as a template so they can open a new copy of it each time and not change the original spreadsheet. Also I would like to be able to lock the cells on the spreadsheet so they can only enter data via the forms I have created. Can this be done in numbers on the iPad? Many thanks.

Install the Number app on your iPad.

How can I save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file?

Okay, I would like to save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file. But of course I can't do that, since Numbers only saves as a comma separated values file.
Plan B: I can open up a CSV file created by Numbers in TextEdit, and I would like to Find and Replace all the commas with tabs. So I open up the Find window, enter a comma under Find, but of course when I put the cursor in the Replace blank and hit the Tab key, it just goes to the next blank instead of giving me a Tab.
Is there a way I can get a Tab into that blank so I can replace all the commas with tabs?

Hello
When we use TextEdit as I described, rows are separated by Returns.
It appears that your program requires LineFeeds.
Here is a neat soluce.
Save this script as an Application Bundle.
--\[SCRIPT tsv2csv]
(* copy to the clipboard a block of datas separated by tabs
run the script
You will get on the desktop a csv file named from the current date-time.
The values separator is set to match the Bento's requirements:
If the decimal separator is period, the script uses commas.
If the decimal separator is comma, the script uses semi-colons.
This may be changed thru the setting of the property maybeSemiColon.
According to the property needLF,
embedded Returns will be replaced by LineFeeds
or
embedded LineFeeds will be replaced by Returns

How do I save a Numbers spreadsheet as an earlier version

I have just upgraded to Yosemite from Snow Leopard. I have a spreadsheet which I have sent to a third party and they are unable to open it as they are on an earlier version of Numbers. How do I save my spreadsheet in the format which they can open?

In the current version of Numbers you can use the File Menu Export item to save to a Numbers 09 compatible file.

How do I save a Numbers spreadsheet as an ASCII spreadsheet

I need to convert an Appleworks spreadsheet to a Numbers spreadsheet and then save it as an ASCII file in order to upload it to my internet site.
Conversion of the AW SS to Numbers is no problem. However, unlike AW, there is no selection I can make in the "Save As" menu to save the Numbers file as an ASCII.
Any suggestions?

Peggy:
As you suggested, I copied and pasted my 450 row Numbers table into Pages (12 pages in total) and then converted it to text - I saved it to my desktop and renamed the file with a ".txt" tag. Then I uploaded to the server.
The result when seen on the net is a page with 10 offices with total sales volume, units sold, etc. However, using the above procedure, while I do get the names of the 10 offices, I get no numbers.
If any of you wish to contact my by email, I will direct you Peggy, Jerry and Brie, to the site to see the present result and future effort results.
Thank you for your time and efforts.

How do I save a Numbers spreadsheet in .txt format?

In order to import a contact list into an online program, I am supposed to Save As a TXT file (text delimited) - I am not given that option. I have tried numerous ways to save as Excel and convert and cannot find anything that will work. Please help.

From my point of view, the easy clean way is to select the table
copy
Paste in Textedit
set format to text
Save.
An alternate scheme is this old script :
--{code}
--[SCRIPTclipboard2textFile]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Scriptl :clipboard2textFile.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:
Copiez les données à exporter dans le Presse-papiers.
menu Scripts > clipboard2textFile
Le script créera un fichier texte.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++++
Save the script as a Script, an Application or an Application Bundle:clipboard2textFile.xxx
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:
Coopy the datas to export into the clipboard
menu Scripts > clipboard2textFile
The script will create a text file.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

Save a numbers spreadsheet as a simple text document?

How do you save a numbers spreadsheet as a simple text document? I can't seem to find this option anywhere. Simply renaming the extension also seems to maintain rich text.

An extension name is just a reminder helping us and the operating system to recognize which kind is the contents of a given file.
Changing a trousers against a dress will not change Mr. Obama in Mrs. Clinton;-)
Same thing for the files.
At this time, Numbers doesn't offer the ability to export as a text file.
Happily, our machines are delivered with TextEdit.
Copy the block of cells of your choice to the clipboard
Paste in an empty TextEdit document
Format > Convert as text
Save
That's all folks.
Of course, you may
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09

How can I recover a numbers spreadsheet. When I saved as a template, my original file was replaced with the saved version.

I save a numbers spreadsheet as a template and I lost my original document. How can I recover the original spreadsheet?

If the file you saved as a template no longer contains any data then I have no more suggestions other than restoring a backup copy.
Have you looked for the original file? did you use spotlight?

I can no longer save a Numbers spreadsheet. Why?

I can no longer save a Numbers spreadsheet.. Why?

Rodeo,
I received the file you emailed. Without opening the file:
I can tell you that you were NEVER able to save the file. This is a Microsoft excel file (which we know because the extension is ".xls"). Numbers can open excel files then you can save the file as a Numbers file OR you can export the file back to excel using the menu item "File > Export To > Excel..."
Did you create the file in Excel? If so you can continue to edit the file in excel. If you double clicked the file and it opened in Numbers then you need to answer the question which application do you want to use (Numbers or Excel)?

How may i place a Numbers spreadsheet in an InDesign document?

How may i place a Numbers spreadsheet in an InDesign document?
It's possible?

Hi.
You can import a .xls file.
First, go to Preferences > File handling > check "Create links ... spreadsheet files" in order to be able to update your table when modified in Excel.
Note that you won't be able to get any formatting from Excel file, so you should create a custom table style, along with paragraph and character styles.
While importing your Excel file, check "import options", select "Unformatted Table", and apply your table style.
Of course, no dynamic math operation can be make within InDesign Table, you must do it in your source file, then resave it and update your link.
If you properly used cells, paragraphs and characters styles, the formatting will be preserved when updating link to the spreadsheet.
Don't forget your .xls file is now linked to your indesign file (just like a picture), so don't move or delete it without caution...

How can I format my Numbers spreadsheet into a PDF file

How can I change my Numbers spreadsheet into a PDF format so that people to whom I send it can open it on their PC?

You can also "share" via iCloud.
The recipient can view it (and edit it, unless you specify read only) using a modern browser on a Mac or PC. The recipient does not need to have an iCloud account..

How do I download a excel spreadsheet from my iPad back to my Mac Pro laptop

how do I download an excel spreadsheet from my iPad back to Mac Pro. the tech at the store showed my how to upload but not down load.

It kind of depends on how it is setup to sync. You can try to reverse his steps.
If you have icloud and use numbers - it will be done by icloud and you don't need to do anything
If he used file sharing in itunes, you need to drag that document backwards.
You can also email it.
And perhaps there are other ways as well.
