Excel Import crashes Numbers and DocsToGo

I believe this began after upgrading to the latest IPad update: Neither of my spreadsheet applications will import any excel file in any fashion. Numbers begins the import process and crashes halfway through. DTG does the same thing. Vie tried importing various sizes and excel file types.
Since this is happening in both application, I'm thinking it has to be something iPad os related?

Thanks for your quick response.
I don't know what to say other than the problem that I had with numbers yesterday no longer applies. I can now open every .xls file with numbers that I have and they format properly. (I could also do this with the previous version so I thought that there was a problem with the 09 version.)
I still do not understand why I had the problem yesterday - the only change was a shutdown overnight.
Thanks again,

Excel import to Numbers

How do I import an Excel document from Excel on my iMac into Numbers on my iPad?

This helped somewhat. When I emailed and tried to open it on my iPad it said "Mail cannot open this attachment." So, I put the excel doc into the pane on Numbers on iTunes on my iMac and then opened Numbers on my iPad and went to Numbers and hit the "+" sign and Create Spread Sheet box opened with three choices "iTunes, idisk, and WebDAV." I hit iTunes and a grayed box saying "copy from iTunes" appears and a grayed out box with the document title appears in the larger grayed box and when I tap on the title bar or any part nothing happens and only the "cancel" button works. This is most frustrating. I'm sure it's simple but it doesn't seem to be explained anywhere. Thanks, Holden

Excel import to numbers- date format issue?

importing excel to numbers means my date format goes to a 5-digit number. I've ensured that the Excel cells are correctly formatted as dates but it keeps happening. Any ideas?

Import = Crash; Pick and choose?

I have about 30 or so new photos that I want to import, and it looks like it's about to finish, but just before it does, iPhoto crashes. I've used this camera with the app. before with no problem - it only just started occurring yesterday. Also, how can I see the content of my camera before importing? I'm not even seeing it on my desktop or in the Finder.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks!

That doesn't seem to be the problem... I plugged my camera into my friend's mac and it worked perfect - I could even see the photos before I imported them and it allowed me to pick and choose. I was then able to import them from an external drive. Another persisting problem is that now, whenever I open iPhoto, it now says that I have loads (hundreds!) of unimported photos that it asks if I want to import. I have to click "no" otherwise it will again crash. So each time I open iPhoto, the number increases. I think I may go into an apple store unless there are any other suggestions?

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.

Linking Excel Spreadsheet to Numbers

I know how to place an Excel Spreadsheet into Numbers and subsequently save it as a Numbers file. Once the Numbers file is established is there a way to export data changes made while working in the original Spreadsheet in Excel direct to the Numbers file created without resaving a new file in Numbers ?

Hi Lawrie,
Numbers has a different philosophy from Excel. I find Numbers has a certain charm with its small, discrete tables on a canvas, instead of sheets that are "oceans" dotted with "islands" of data. Numbers allows data input tables, "engine room" tables where the serious number-crunching happens, and "presentation" tables for results.
Happy Numbers, and thanks for the two gold stars.
Regards,
Ian

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!

Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app, any help?

Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app, any help?

What does the error say?
A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.

Import Serial numbers into MIGO from Excel

Hi there
We would like to be able to import serial numbers from a spreadsheet into MIGO.
We purchase from vendors and they ship directly to the customer and provide us with a spreadsheet of serial numbers. These then are manually imput into SAP by copying them six at a time. Is there a way we can import the serial numbers directly into MIGO?
Thank you
Tiri

Hi
I am experiencing the same issue. I need to create up to 3000 serial numbers in MIGO at a time. In IQ04 I am able to create a numeric list. However our serial numbers are alpha numeric or numeric ending in a test figure. Copy and past only allows 28 entries. I do have the serial numbers in electronic format.
You are referring to upload functionality, but don't seem to find the "button" or function to upload from text or excel.
Anybody able to assist?
Regards

Import of excel-xml into Numbers '09 vers 2.3

How can I import excel-xml into Numbers?
or
How can I import a CSV-fil into Numbers as a spreadsheet?

In addition to File/Open you can
Right click on the file. Open With. Numbers.
CSV files can also be drag & dropped onto a table and the table will be populated by the contents of the file.

How do you import CSV, tab, and OFX files into multiple Numbers columns

This Apple function from Numbers '08 Help "Importing a Document" does not seem to work:
"You can create a new Numbers spreadsheet by importing a document created in Microsoft Excel or AppleWorks 6. Numbers can also import files in comma-separated value (CSV) format, tab-delimited format, and Open Financial Exchange (OFX) format."
No amount of experimenting with Import, Export, Save As, Paste and Match Style, or using other applications will enable importing CSV, tab, or OFX files into multiple Numbers columns. Instead, all data is imported into a single Numbers column, which then has to be manually and tediously parsed one data element at a time into columns, one row, and one column at a time.

Joe,
They all have worked here. I'm not presently able to try in Numbers 08, but I know I've done them all.
Just double-clicking a .csv file will open Numbers and display the data in a table. Dragging a .csv file to your Numbers icon on the Dock will open it as a Numbers table. Dragging it to a Sheet in an open Numbers document will make a new table in an existing document, and dragging to a table will insert the csv file into the table you dropped it into.
CAUTION
With Numbers '08, CSV files must use the comma as delimiter on every setting of decimal separator.
Numbers '09 behave differently.
With your tab-delimited file open in a word processor, copy it, then paste it into a table in an open Numbers document. When doing this, select a cell in the table, but don't double-click into the text field of the cell, then paste.
Why use this long road when we may import directly Tab Separated Values file (tsv.txt) with Numbers '08 (or '09) ?

How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc? I need to create and edit between both.

How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc? I need to create and edit and exchange between both types of operating systems.

Your Windows system will not open any Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents. No applications exist for Windows that can open those formats. You will need to export your documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats, respectively, before you'll be able to view and edit the documents on your Windows system. The iWork documents can natively open Word, Excel and PP documents, though there are limitations on what can be imported (for instance, Numbers does not support all possible Excel functions). Consult the documentation for the relevant iWork application for details on importing and exporting.
If you are asking how to get the documents from one system to the other, then there are several ways to do that, including file sharing, using an external drive (hard drive, USB flash drive), or emailing the documents to yourself. Which would be best for your situation I can't say without more details about your usage.

HT4399 I have a Mac Book Air and have purchased individually numbers and pages. I was given an excel file on a thumb drive and cannot open it. Is there a way to open the xcl file in numbers?

I have a MacBook Air, and have purchased individually Numbers and Pages. I was sent an Excel file on a thumb drive but cannot open the file. The message states that the Excel file is encryeted. Is ther any way to open a PC file on my Mac Book Air?
Pat and Bob

Excel does not use the .xcl extension for any of its native file formats? The only files I've ever seen with xcl as the file extension were associated with embedded application code projects.
If this is in fact an Excel file, but an encrypted one, you cannot open it (in excel or any compatible application) without the decryption password.

I can no longer open numbers and am therefore barred from access to important accounts - what do i do next

I can no longer open numbers and am therefore barred from access to important accounts.What do I do next?

Hi mp,
If you updated to OS X Mavericks, there may have been an automatic update to Numbers 3. Numbers 3 will be in your Applications folder. Numbers '09 has not been replaced. Look for Numbers '09 (Numbers 2.3) in a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. You can run both versions of Numbers at the same time.
I have icons for both versions on my Dock. Drag each to the Dock from Applications folder and Applications > iWork '09 folder. Right click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. Now you have the choice of which to use.
Numbers 2 (3 column chart) on the left. Numbers 3 (4 column chart) on the right.
If a document won't open, try opening from within each version. Or right click on the document and Open With...
You can Export a Numbers 3 document back to Numbers '09 with Menu > Export > Numbers '09...
Post back if you have problems.
Regards,
Ian.
