Emailed Data into Numbers.

I have a web store that sends order information to the purchaser and to me via email.  I'm trying to get that info into Numbers automatically so I don't have to spend hours (and make errors) getting items sold totals, etc.  Any way to do this? Thanks, George

Copying the table in your email and pasting into a blank Numbers Sheet you get the upper two tables in the following graphic. The lower table is one I produced to parse out the sale data from the email.
The expressions in the conversion table are:
Col. A: =IFERROR(VALUE(LEFT(Table 2 :: B1,2)), ".")
Col. B: =IFERROR(MID(Table 2 :: B1, 5, LEN(Table 2 :: B1)-6), ".")
Col. C: =IFERROR(MID(Table 2 :: C1,7,6)*1,".")
Col. D: =IF(C=".", ".", MID(Table 2 :: C1,LEN(Table 2 :: C1)-5, 5)*1)
Is this what you had in mind?

  • Cannot insert date into numbers 3.1 using ctl shift d

    can no longer insert date into numbers 3.1 using control shift d

    Hi Gerald,
    If you are inserting the current date a lot, and want a simple keyboard combination to do it rather than fiddling with formulas in Numbers, here is an easy way that takes advantage of some neat functionality built into every Mac that is much easier than it sounds.  It requires the investment of just a few minutes of time to make a one-time setup of an "Automator service."  Thereafter inserting a date is just a menu pick or keyboard combination.
    1. Open Automator (in your applications folder) and choose Service as document type:
    2. Drag 'Run AppleScript' action from the left over into the right pane:
    3. Copy the following script and paste it into the right pane (replacing all of the default text in the pane):
    on run
              set date_ to ((current date) as string)
      set the clipboard to the date_
              tell application "Numbers"
      activate
                        tell application "System Events"
      keystroke "v" using {option down, shift down, command down}
                        end tell
              end tell
    end run
    4. At the top of the right pane choose 'no input' for 'Service receives' and 'Numbers.app' for 'in'. (On my machine I have the old Numbers renamed to Numbers09 so the script doesn't get confused).
    After you click the hammer icon (to "compile") your right panel should now look like this:
    5. Name the service "Today" or similar and move it to the Library > Services folder. (If it doesn't save automatically to that location you can File > Export in Automator, choose the 'Desktop' for 'Where', then in Finder open a new window and hold down the option key and choose Go > Library > Services, and drag Today.workflow from the Desktop into that folder.)
    That's it. The service is ready to go. Thereafter, whenever you want to insert the current date, just pick Today from the Services menu:
    6. Or, to make this even easier to access, choose Services Preferences and assign a keyboard shortcut to the service:
    SG
    Troubleshooting notes:
    This should "just work." But if it doesn't for some reason, try one or more of the following:
    - Rename the old Numbers (the one in the iWork '09 folder under Applications) to Numbers09 or similar.
    - Check to make sure you aren't using the same keyboard shortcut for something else.
    - Remove 'Day of the week' from your "Full" date format in System Preferences > Language & Region.
    - Try revising permissions under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility > Privacy.

  • How do I convert an exported excel document to numbers? I am able to get the data into numbers but I can't read it.

    I am trying to get an excel document I exported from Wufoo into numbers on my mac. It works but I cannot read the data.

    I got it to work!! Just had to select Commas (.csv) instead of excel for the export. What happened before was that I chose .xls to export the data and when I tried to open the file in Numbers, it showed an error.
    Import Warning - This is a tab delimited document, not a valid Excel document. The data might look different.
    the data was all symbols etc..
    Thanks for replying to my question!

  • Import data into Numbers from web?

    Is there a way to import data from the internet directly into Numbers without programming/writing an applescript or using a different program?
    Can you do this while using only Numbers and the web?

    And how is Numbers to know how to extract the exact data you want from an external source, unless that source is in a format familiar to Numbers, which HTML isn't? For an automated process like this, you will need scripting, and that means learning to program/understand scripts.
    For example, here's some HTML code from a web page that includes volume data for one symbol:
    <td class="mbi_left" align="left" width="35%">BM&FBOVESPA SA</td><td align="right" width="10%">12.37</td><td align="right" width="10%">0.22</td><td align="right" width="10%">1.81</td><td align="right" width="20%">11,611,700</td><td align="right" width="15%">09/18</td>
    Numbers can't interpret this without being told exactly what to extract. Also, Numbers doesn't go out to the web on its own at fixed intervals (as I suspect you may want) without a program telling it what to do. This is just a spreadsheet after all.

  • What is the formula for automatically entering todays date into Numbers.  In Quattro, it was '@today', but I cannot find it in numbers.  Thx

    What is the formula to automatically enter 'current date' into spreadsheet?  In Quattro, it was '@today', but I cannot find it in the Numbers spreadsheet.  Thx

    201,
    Do you want it to update or always show the date when entered?
    For updates, use the TODAY() function.
    For a static date, use Insert > Date and Time.

  • How to get SEC data into numbers??

    I am trying to get the SEC data into a .csv file so that I can play with it in a numbers. A few years ago the program thumbval (thumbnail evalu-a-tor) did a pretty good job, but it used web queries, which broke over time, as the pages it referenced changed.
    What I would like to do is simply get the data from the SEC, and CUT AND PASTE it into numbers, but this is difficult, as it is improperly formatted and just gets placed in a single cell. grrrrr
    Any suggestions? Morningstar has 'watered down' financial statements in table form. My broker (BMO investorline) provides .csv files, but they contain only summary data - for instance the quarterly income for BWLD is just a few lines, and contains none of the detail breakdown found in the SEC reports.
    The data exists. It is plastered all over the financial world, surely getting it into a spreadsheet ready format has been done to death, but I am going crazy trying to figure this one out.

    Hello
    As I don't know from where where grabbed your datas, I can't make tests.
    May you copy a block of datas from the web page then paste into a Pages document.
    After that activate the "Show hidden chars" tool.
    You will see which character is used as a separator.
    You may also attach the Pages doc (after zipping it) to a mail and send it to:
    koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
    I will be able to look at the datas's contents.
    I met several cases.
    - 1 - values separated by TABs and they may be pasted as is.
    - 2 - values separated by Returns. They can't be pasted as is. I posted a script to deal with this case. But often this one is linked to Safari. Entering the Web page with Firefox gave a TAB separated values block
    - 3 - values separated by spaces. In this case, it is difficult to get a correct result.
    I posted a script able to deal with this case because most of the values where numbers so I was able to replace every occurence of (digit + space) by (digit + TAB) and every occurence of (space + digit) by (TAB + digit).

  • Problem reading dates into numbers

    I suspect I am missing something very obvious but I am trying to read a spreadsheet with dates in the first column  into Numbers 3.0.1 in Mavericks. The original file was in xls format and the dates are imported as numbers (e.g. todays date - 31st Dec 2013 appears as 41639). The spreadsheet was created with Libreoffice but the dates are fine if I read the xls file into preview or google docs.  I have tried reformatting the column into date format but nothing happens. Any ideas?

    Check to see if any columns are hidden by opening the contextual menu for any column:

  • HOW TO CONVERT DATE INTO NUMBERS

  • Publish dates into iCal from Numbers

    I am trying to publish dates from a chart in Numbers to iCal or Outlook calendar. Is this something that can be done?

    Solved, I think! What you need to do is log on to your icloud account at www.icloud.com, go to the calendar screen, click the gearwheel and choose New Calendar. Create a calendar here (ie up on the iCloud) with the name you want for your imported calendar data. Then switch to iCal - you may have to quit and relaunch for the new iCloud calendar to appear (or it will probably do so automatically if you wait long enough) then import the data using File->Import->Import... When you get to the step where it asks which calendar you want to import the data into, choose the new iCloud calendar you've just created. Job done!
    To be complete in my answer, I don't think you can exactly do what you want to do, at least not at present. There doesn't seem to be any way to publish a calendar to iCloud after the first time you set up iCloud on your Mac when it exports any calendar data that is on the Mac at that time. I suppose that Apple feel that the way I have described works by exporting from one calendar and importing into another, so no need to provide a way of doing it directly.

  • Xml data transfer into numbers

    HI there folks, Does anyone know if there is a script in existence to use xml to transfer data into numbers

    You can open an XML using an XML editor like this one (ther are others which you favorite search engine will help you find):
    http://xmplifyapp.com
    XML will open in Numbers if you change the extension to ".txt" but it will look something like:
    As far as a script I think it would have to be very specific to the XML you want to import at this time.

  • Is there a way to import iCal data into a numbers spreadsheet?

    Is there a way to import iCal data into a numbers spreadsheet?

    If you want to import lots of calendar events into Numbers, the general way to proceed would be to:
    export in CSV (character-separated values) from iCal (Calendar)
    import the CSV into Numbers.
    1. can be accomplished via AppleScript (perhaps in an Automator workflow) or, perhaps more convenient, a dedicated exporter app such as Export Calendars Pro or competitors.
    2. Importing into Numbers is usually as easy as File > Open and choose the CSV file.

    No. You have to use the built-in keyboard or a bluetooth connected external keyboard.

  • When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012.

    When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012.  I have tried changing the cell formats for that column from "automatic" to "text", but that doesn't fix it.  Is there a way to copy/paste this information without changing the original characters?

    If you know how many rows/columns you are planning to paste, then make the table that big BEFORE you paste.  In addition select all cells in the table by selecting any cell, then type the key combination <COMMAND>+a (for select all.
    Then use the cells inspector to make the cells formatted as text:
    I hope this helps
