Can I open/convert Excel (.xslx) files in the Numbers app?

I have some Microsoft Excel files from a former PC that I would like to open in my MacBook.  Do I need an Apple version of Office installed on my computer or can I convert the file information in the Numbers app?

According to the following you can open it in Numbers: Numbers: Supported file formats
If in doubt, start Numbers and use the File menu Open command and see if it works.
You could also install and use either Open Office or Libre Office, both of which are free and very good.

  • On iPad can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages app?

    On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application?  If so how do I perform this activity?

    Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
    Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

  • Can you open an existing illustrator file with the application default settings?

    I need to open a customers illustrator files that he sends me with the default application settings, not the setting he saved with his file.

    CS6 (Mac) but soon CC.
    What is happening is they are saving the files with among other things, print scaling set to something other than 100%. If one of our operators does not catch it, the plate files are ripped at a smaller size than what they should be.
    This customer does thier own production work and sends us "plate ready" files but sometimes forgets to change this setting back to 100% (he changes the scaling to something that will fit on a letter size page so he can check his separations).
    I seem to recall (from years ago), there was a way to open a file using the applications default settings, not the settings saved within the file itself.

  • Where can I find a bookmarks system file in the Firefox app for Android?

    What's the name of the bookmarks file in FF for Android?

    It is not accessible in most cases. It is also not the same format as desktop Firefox. You need root to be able to access the file, if you do then it would be browser.db.

  • Where can I find easy to understand instructions for the numbers app on the iPad

    WWhere can I find idiot proof instructions for numbers?

    Best bet may be in the iBook Store. Search: ipad numbers.
    There is a new December 2014 iBook from Sean Kells called Numbers for iPad (2015 edition). $5.99. You can switch between this guide and Numbers on your iPad. Looks like it is current with IOS 8.
    Here is an Apple link to current features for Numbers on IOS, OS X, and iCloud.

  • Can't open password protected PDF files.

    As per the thread title, I can't seem to open password protected PDF files via the Mail app.
    I've read that you can open them if they're synced and opened via iBook, however, this is not an option for me.
    I get sent several password protected PDF for work per week and would like to be able to read them directly from the Mail app just like a regular PDF file.
    Does Apple know of this issue and will they implement a fix in the near future?

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Opening MS Excel 2007 files + Spotlight

    Hey all,
    A couple of quick questions.
    1. Is there any way to open MS Excel 2007 files? I tried Neooffice and an XML converter (which I now understand can convert only .docx and .pptx files?)
    2. Is there a spotlight widget? So I can run spotlight whilst pulling up my dashboard?
    Please let me know!
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    Mustan

    Some quick answers:
    1. No. (Unless you count MS Excel 2007 on Windows.) MS is "working on it."
    2. Not that I know of. But I could be wrong.

  • Can I open an excel spreadsheet in NUMBERS complete with formulas?

    Can I open an excel spreadsheet in NUMBERS complete with formulas?

    Problem solved.  I find that the excel file I was trying to convert was an .xlsx version and when I resaved it as an .xls file, I was then able to open it in NUMBERS complete with formulas.

  • Can't open E-5 ORF files in PSE 8

    Hello,
    Is there any way to open ORF files of the new Olympus E-5 in elements 8?
    The new Camera Raw 6.3 supports these files, but the CR 6.3 is not compatible with Elements 8!
    Does that mean, I have to upgrade AGAIN to the newest version of Elements (PSE 9) just to open these ORF files?
    Hope there is an answer!
    Thank you for reading!
    fenenade

    You can use the 6.3 dng converter which converts your camera files to the dng format so
    pse8 can open them.

  • Since buying Pages 5.2  can't open any Pages 09 files

    Since purchasing and updating to Pages 5.2 I can't open any Pages 09 files.  Tried various things, nothing working.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • I can't open any 60p .mov files in quicktime.  Footage was shot on a JVC GY HM150 which is supposed to record in native fcp format.  Any ideas how I can open these files successfully?

    I can't open any 60p .mov files in quicktime or FCP5.  Sometimes in QT the audio plays but not the video. Footage was shot on a JVC GY HM150 which is supposed to record in native fcp format.  Any ideas how I can open these files successfully?

    Get ClipWrap2 and convert to an editable format for your version of FCP5.
