Save Dollars to Pounds in Numbers

To transfer Microsoft Excell documents to my new Mac, I managed to convert them to .xlsx before sending to Numbers but the £ signs have defaulted to $. When I try to change the first $ to £, then move to the next one, the previous one changes back to $. It still changes back if I change one then click Save in the top menu bar before proceeding to the next one.
Anyone any idea please how I can make the alterations and save them?

With one or more cells selected in Numbers, have you tried changing the currency in the floating Inspector pane? Cells tab, the fourth from the left.
I'd attach a screenshot, but for some reason it won't let me.

  • How can I save a spreadsheet prepared in numbers to excel so that all of my pc using work colleagues can view

    How can I save a spreadsheet prepared in numbers to excel so that all of my pc using work colleagues can view.  I have recently upgraded to Lion and am wondering whether I have made a big mistake. I am the only Mac user within the company i work for and up to now this has not been a problem

  • Frame Crashes on Save Book After Performing Document Numbering Update

    Frame 10 crashes every time when saving book after performing a Format\Document\Numbering update. All of sudden when performing a document "Update" Frame starting generating errors for specific documents in the book. Numbering in docuement does not match numbering for book. So I select those documents generating the error and then do a Format\Document\Numbering and just hit the set button. Then try to save the book and it crashes every time. It crashes for Format\Document\Numbering one document or all of them.

    In Frame 7.1/Unix, it is commonly the case that an unrelated crash corrupts the Book's settings for Numbering, although it appears that nothing has changed. It is, of course, a nuisance to reset all the dialogs.
    So what I do instead, and which you might try, is to set all of the book number dialogs (all six panes, for each component file) to "Read from File". That seems to be stable and survives crashes. It may or may not fix your problem.

  • How do i save a range of telephone numbers as under 1 contact name?

    Recently company A has been send me SMSs using different number from a specific range eg. 012 231 0582, 012 231 0589, 012 231 0592, etc
    So i want to save this range of numbers under 1 contact but not one number at a time, i just want to save it as a range e.g 012 231 0500-99 such that if i receive an SMS from any of the numbers it is just recongised as from company A and the sms is stored together with other previous SMSs from the same contact even tho from different numbers.
    Can this be done?

    yes you can, although im not sure if you can do it for as much as 99 numbers.
    just create 1 contact first (e.g. Company SMS, 1234567) under Contacts, click on the "+" on the top right hand of the screen.
    You will then see that you can input numbers under "Mobile". Once you do that, the next field appears, and if you key in a number there, the next field appears and so on.

  • How do I save a custom template in Numbers '09?

    I have done this successfully in the past but cannot do it now. After creating a template, I have tried following the directions:
    File > Save as Template
    but there is no folder named My Templates in which to save the file. The specified path:
    Library/Applications Support/iWork/Numbers/Templates/My Templates
    does not exist. This is as far as I get:
    Library/Applications Support/iWork '09 (with 2 subfolders, neither of which seems appropriate)
    Thanks in advance for any help I receive with this!

    As Jerry said, you should not need to find the My Templates folder. Choosing Save As Template from the File menu in Numbers (or Pages) will automatically select that folder. If the path doesn't already exist it will be created the first time you choose to save a template. Here is a screenshot of the save window when I choose Save As Template in Numbers.
    Should you want to delete any templates you have created or want to place any you have downloaded in the My Templates folder you will need to navigate to the folder. You are looking in the main HD Library folder not your user/home Library. In Lion the user Library is hidden & you need to go to Finder & hold down the Option key while clicking the Go menu to reveal it.

  • How do I change dollar to pounds signs

    I am thinking of buying a USB keyboard whilst I'm in the states and wondered how I chane the dollar sign to a pounds sign on key 4?

    You cannot change the face of the key, but you can type £, as I just did on a standard North American keyboard. It's Option +3 (both keys).
    Of course there are other key combinations. Go to Apple Menu / System Preferences / Language & Text. Select Input Sources, and check off Keyboard & Character Viewer. And at the bottom check off Show Input menu in menu bar.
    Now when you click on the Character Viewer you see the keyboard. Now try different key combinations, like option + g. The keyboard will show you ©.

  • Cannot save to local drive in Numbers or Pages

    When attempting to name and save a document in Numbers or Pages, iCloud appears by default as the target folder. When I change it to my local drive and select the local target folder, the file name automatically changes to the target folder name and I can't save anything.
    Has anyone had this problem? Thanks for any help on this - sure looks like a bug to me.
    BTW, I'm running Mountain Lion/10.8.1 and up-to-date versions of Numbers and Pages...

    CMD-S now defaults to my local drive, but folder names are greyed out. If I click on one, then it tries to name the file with the folder name! Any ideas about that?
    Thanks again.

  • 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)?

  • Save as excel in numbers 3.0?

    I can't save a copy of a numbers spreadsheet as an Excel spreadsheet.  I was able to before 3.0 update. 
    Anyone have this issue also?
    Help!

    Hi Melanie,
    Are you trying to "save as" or are you trying to export, like this?
    Numbers 2.3, part of iWork '09, is still on your Mac, in a subfolder within your Applications folder. You can run it and Numbers 3.0 at the same time if you want.

  • How do I SAVE AS in Numbers????

    Driving me nuts  -  how do I  'save as'  a document from numbers?  If I use cmd S  it disappears I know not where.........I need a drop down that will let me choose where to save it.    If I use numbers help, it shows the big wobbling arrow that points to an imaginary drop down menu with 'save as' in it....
    I have a MacBookAir 13" from 2013.  OS X 10.9.5.  1.7Ghz Intel Core i7

    There is no Save As from straight menu.
    So choose save and give it a name.
    Choose Rename, give it a new name.  It overwrites the other file name.
    Unless you do the Option (see Mende1) when you pull down the Find.  Then you get Save As.
    See below

  • Since my "upgrade" I no longer have "save as" in Numbers

    I can't save a verson of a Numbers spreadsheet. I only get the "save a version" option and it saves the file I'm working on over the top, apparently of whatever is already there.  I suppose you could save then go into the saved files and change the name, but what a pain!! This is a GIGANTIC pain in the *** and for the first time I'm regretting that I switched from Excel to Numbers. Between this and the Safari problems and no longer being able to run "power PC" applications (a little detail that's gonna cost me hundreds) Thanks Mac! I'm quite thoroughly disappointed with the new "upgrade"!!  ****!  The touch pad moving things in the opposite direction??  Excellent change!  Sorry, didn't really come here to ***** but there ya go..

    "Perhaps you should do a little research on the Versions feature. If you do, note the Duplicate command"
    Agreed theoretically.  But in practise, Apple should review itself:
    1. why the Help has been so useless!  (There is certainly a "Save as", only after you click on the Duplicate...)
    2. why there is no Change List to announce ahead or during beta about the changes and wipe outs (such as dumping the Reminders from Mail!)
    Can Apple give more respects to current application users?

  • Sample Applescript: scraping values from numbers files into a master file

    Hi, I have programming experience in c and other languages, but am new to applescript and so am learning a lot from this forum.
    My goal is to make a timesheet system for my Dad (for a bday present) where every time he helps a client, he fills out a newly created numbers file - and after a week or so, he can run a script that scrapes certain values from each numbers file and places it into a master numbers file. Then saving and closing the file.
    Vince, it sounds like you've written a script that does this feature of looping through all numbers files in a folder and putting select values from each numbers file into a master numbers file (after clearing the previous values of the master file).
    Specifically, I'm looking for a sample script that opens up a numbers file, clears its table, then fills this table by scraping one value from a particular cell in every numbers file in a folder.
    If anyone has a similar script they would be willing to post or email to me, for me to use as a foundation and to learn from, I would be very very very grateful. My email is forman.jq at gmail dot com.

    I guess that this script may be a good starting point.

  • Error message when trying to salve pages or numbers documents

    All of a sudden i get the following message when trying to save newly created pages or numbers documents into my documents folder
    "The file “Untitled.numbers-tef” couldn’t be opened". THis is for doocuments created from scratch.
    Can anyone please help?
    I'm relatively new to new to the iMac and OS so not sure if something has been set up incorrectly - but it's been working OK for approx 3 months.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I spoke too soon. I began a new movie and imported
    photo clips, which rendered just fine. However, I
    can drag transitions in between the photos, but they
    simply will not render. Everything was just swell
    until yesterday afternoon when I changed the length
    of the clips so that there would be enough room for
    the transition. I tried to do multiple clips at the
    same time, but they never rendered. It was then when
    I was unable to add any more transitions.
    Aha! That may be different problem. There's a bug in iMovie that makes it impossible to update image clips after you empty the iMovie trash. If you imported the image with the Ken Burns checkbox ON, the bug can affect you later.
    It's possible, I suppose, that this bug not only prevented you from updating the clips to a new duration, but made it impossible to add the transition to the clips.
    After importing your images with the Ken Burns checkbox on, you might try dragging the source image out of the iMovie trash, described here:
