  • Can't open Excel files with Numbers

    Hi,
    I'm having troubles when I try to open Excel files with Numbers. The iWork program simply shuts down and a message appears, telling that a "sudden problem happened".
    Can anyone help here? I really appreciate.
    Rafinha

    Hi Rafinh,
    Welcome to Numbers discussions.
    Numbers will open Excel documents. Sometimes deleting the Numbers Preference file will do the trick. Close Numbers then delete the Numbers preference file: home > Library > Preferences, com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    In the upper right of this window click Search thousands of questions have been asked and answered.
    These Discussions are enduser helping enduser, not Apple employees answering questions. Questions will be answered when a enduser such as yourself finds time, desires to, knows the answer along with the time to respond.
    Again, welcome to Numbers Discussions, have fun here.

  • Opening Excel files in Numbers 08

    I have just downloaded iworks08 to my new macbook pro. I have a trial edition of microsoft excel for mac downloaded as well. I have noticed that I am not able to open excel files in numbers 08. Is this true? Is it not feasible to open excel files in numbers o8? In addition, I have not been able to open numbers files in excel. Is this also true? I have used iwork 09 trial, and noticed that you are able to open and create excel files. I assume this was part of the upgrading from 08 to 09 iworks.
    Could someone please confirm the above questions? In addition, is there any way to open and/or create excel files in numbers 08? Thank you.

    It depends of the format used to save them.
    I have not been able to open numbers files in excel.
    Normal, the default format is Numbers only.

    There are few changes on this subject.

    For open see response above.
    To create Excel file with Numbers '08, use the Export menu item.
    I wish to add that with every copy of iWork '08, Apple deliver well done PDF *_User Guides_*.

  • Edit an Excel file in Numbers '09 and save to Excel

    When I open an excel file with numbers and then make a change, I can't simply save the file by pressing command-s because that brings up the "saving as" dialog.
    Is there a reason why this is happening? Can't Numbers just overwrite the existing excel file?
    It's not a huge inconvenience buy an unnecessary one.

    Like most applications, Numbers assumes you want to save in the native format for that application. If you want to open, edit and save in MS Excel format, logic would suggest that your best course would be to use MS Excel.
    That said, it's probably possible to write an AppleScript that would perform the steps necessary to do what you want with only a single menu choice needed.
    Or you could export (rather than Save) the file. That's a menu choice plus three click process, though.

  • I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data is not.) but

    I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

    HI Dave,
    I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
    I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
    Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
    Does it contain a table?
    How large?
    Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
    Do those other tabs contain a table?
    Have you checked those tables for data content?
    There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
    I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Download records to EXCEL file with  Leading Zero's for numbers

    HI KC,
    then no need to download the zeros,
    after uploading, loop at that uploaded internal table and use CONVERSION_EXIT_APLHA_INPUT and pass the vbeln(without zeros) to this FM, it will return the value with added zeros.
    hope this solves your query
    a small example
    Loop at itab into is.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
    EXPORTING
    INPUT = is-vbeln "(  this is without zeros)
    IMPORTING
    OUTPUT = is-vbeln. "( this is with leading zeros)
    modify itab from is.
    endloop.

  • Opening Excel file in Numbers

    I placed an Excel file in Numbers iTunes file area and synchronized, but no files are found when I open Numbers on the iPad. Please advise.
    jmf

    you need to tap the button that has an arrow pointing down into a half box |_|
    then you will see copy from iDisk, copy from iTunes, and i believe copy from WebDAV. tap copy from iTunes and you will find your file.

  • How to repear a corrupt file with Numbers

    How to open a "corrupt" file with Numbers.
    With excel it is possible to open such a file with the following error message :
    "The file you are trying to open, 'filename.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
    Clicking YES, the file is opening correctly with XLS.
    How to do the same with Numbers?
    When i try to open the same file with numbers i have no "error message" but the information contained in the file is not readable.
    Many thanks for your help

    Yeah that's true to an extant; microsoft did a good job fixing that but unfortunately allowed it to be re-introduced in 2006 with windows vista where they allowed file naming to receive destructive values (wasn't very fond of this);
    in previous versions of windows such values once entered would be followed by an error message telling you those values couldn't be used
    I wasn't aware it would pop its ugly head back up into windows 7 but I see otherwise as in the case of mine
    (I forgot to mention the period preceded a parenthesis which in turn can be destructive to the file's original format)
    Anyway photoshop wont open the file after changing it to .psd leaving an error message stating....
    'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop'

  • Problems appearing when exporting excel file into numbers file

    Hello,
    I have a Problem, need HELP!!
    I have an excel file with graphics, and data are written on graphs: these data are percentages. When I export my excel file on numbers (becomes therefore a numbers file), my problem appears: When I have for example 24% on a graph, it becomes 0.24 and I can't find the way to write it 24% again.
    Also I have a problem with graphics titles: when I export the excel file into numbers, graphics title are not correctly centered anymore and I cannot find the way to fix them correctly...
    Thanks a lot!!!!

    It seems that only sectorial charts may display percent.
    Also I have a problem with graphics titles: when I export the excel file into numbers, graphics title are not correctly centered anymore and I cannot find the way to fix them correctly...
    Sounds as if you are in cases where the charts are imported as a single graphic block, not as different components.
    Maybe you will find explanation in:

  • Opening Excel files in Numbers

    I am a rookie Apple user. When I purchased my MacBook Pro I was assured I could open my Excel files in Numbers. Well, I have tried to email the files and have burned them to a disc and either way they will not open in Numbers. I get an error message that the files are encrypted. My Word files on the same disc/email open with no problem so there is no encryption that I am aware of. The Excel file that I am trying to open is a report template with 4 linked pages in a "book" Other than dates there are no numbers. All fields are designated for text. I have tried to open the blank saved templates as well as completed and saved reports to no avail. Is this issue because it is a "book"? Is it because it is mostly text? or what???
    If this issue cant be resolved is it worth getting Office for Mac so I can use my excel files? (must stay with Excel because of work) I have heard it causes a lot of issues (freezing/slowness) just as if you were running it on a PC (although I only had such issues when my software/computer was too old). Any input would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

    I am a rookie Apple user. When I purchased my MacBook Pro I was assured I could open my Excel files in Numbers.
    You where too optimistic. Numbers is able to open many Excel files using a format which was availabler in august 2007 when it was 'finished'.
    Well, I have tried to email the files
    To mail an iWork document, we must compress it as a .zip archive because several mail applications are unable to transfer folder (an iWork document is a package which is a special kind of folder).
    and have burned them to a disc and either way they will not open in Numbers. I get an error message that the files are encrypted.
    Given the structure of iWork documents, we can't open them from a read only device. The message is wrong. Copy the document on a read-write media and you will able to open it.

  • Can't open excel 97 with numbers

    I am unable to open an .xls file with numbers '09 v2.3 (554).  I have not had this problem before although this file is Excel '97 it is one of my earliest files from my PC days.  I recieve the error message "This document was created with an unsupported version of Excel. Only documents created with Excel ’97 or later can be opened."  Don't understand as it is '97.
    I've tried to open other files from the same folder unsucesfully and I can't even open the word .doc files.
    Thanks, any ideas much appreciated.

    I'd suggest downloading one of the open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, then re-saving the result in a more recent Excel format, to be opened in Numbers.
    Or you might stop at that first step, and use that application to work with these files.
    Links are to download sites. All three request donations. Neo requires a recent donation to download the most current version.

  • Why can I not save my changes to an Excel file in Numbers?

    I opened an Excel file in Numbers and made some modifications.  Now, trying to save it to a numbers file, I get the message, "The file 'filename.numbers' couldn't be opened.  How can I save this file?

    oddly, i needed to restart my computer for another issue (i could not hear any sound no matter what i did).  luckily, apple has had the insight to include automatic recovery of files and i was able to re-open these applications and have my unsaved files intact.  even more strangely, i was able to save my file with the original name.
    as a pc & windows convert, this whole thing was a little disconcerting.  perhaps i am just used to that environment, but i have never had something like this happen there.  (though perhaps i have had other things... )
    thanks for the attempts to help!

  • How do I merge multiple Excel files with more than one tab in each file using PowerQuery?

    Hello
    I have 12 Excel (.xlsx) files and each file has three identically named and ordered tabs in them. 
    I know how to merge multiple Excel files in a folder using M (those guides are all over the web) but how do I merge multiple Excel files with multiple (yet identically named and ordered) tabs? Surely it is possible? I just don't know how to do it in M.
    Cheers
    James

    What Laurence says is correct, and probably the best thing to do when the sheets have differing structures. Here is an alternate approach that works well when the sheets all have the same structure.
    When you first open the Excel file from Power Query, you can see its structure in the navigator at the right-hand-side of the screen. If you select the root (which is the filename itself) and click Edit, you'll see all the tabs in the sheet as a single table.
    You can now do filtering based on the Name, Item and Kind values. When you've reduced the set of things down to the sheets you want, select the Data column and say "Remove Other Columns". If the sheets don't have any header rows, you can just click the expand
    icon in the header and you'll be done.
    Otherwise, if the sheets have headers or if some other kind of sheet-level transformation is required against each sheet before doing a merge, you'll have to write some M code manually. In the following example, each sheet has a header row consisting of
    two columns: Foo and Bar. So the only step I need to perform before merging is to promote the first row into a header. This is done via the Table.TransformColumns operation.
    let
        Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\CurtH\Desktop\Test1.xlsx")),
        RemovedOtherColumns = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Data"}),
        PromotedHeaders = Table.TransformColumns(RemovedOtherColumns,{{"Data", each Table.PromoteHeaders(_)}}),
        ExpandData = Table.ExpandTableColumn(PromotedHeaders, "Data", {"Foo", "Bar"}, {"Data.Foo", "Data.Bar"})
    in
        ExpandData
