Exporting/uploading Numbers to Google Docs

The only thread I could find was this unanswered one;
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5181446&#5181446
So I'm bumping this issue again.
I'm trying to upload a simple Numbers table to Google Docs. I export the table as a .xls from Numbers, but Google Docs gives me a blank sheet when I try to open it.
I've tried a really simple 'test' spreadsheet, but it still doesn't open in Google Docs correctly.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply. This would work for static numbers, unfortunately my spreadsheet contains a lot of formula which I want to retain in Google Docs. Copy/Paste won't copy the formula.
I could of course copy/paste each formula in turn. But at that point I might as well create the sheet from scratch in Google Docs to begin with!

  • Upload file in google docs is ignored in FF 4b4 (OK other browsers and previous versions of FF)

    I am using Firefox 4.0 Beta 4 and think there is a problem with the "Upload file" functionality in google docs combined with the latest beta4 release of FF. It worked up until beta v3. I have also installed v3.6.8 and seems to be a problem on all such evironments. I use Windows XP. I tried to disable adblock plus but same problem persists and I have to use say Opera.
    Google docs provides an excellent gateway to publish stuff to my blog and to publish plain office and pictures. I have tried to disable "Popup blocker" but no difference.
    Any help most welcome.

  • Uploading exported Excel file to Google Docs

    I exported a spreadsheet as an Excel .xls file, but Google won't let me upload it giving me an error:
    We're sorry, but we were unable to upload this document.
    If you have the desktop word processor installed on this computer, there are two other easy ways to bring the file into Google Docs:
    Using the Clipboard
    Open the document in the desktop word processor.
    Type ⌘-A to select the contents of the entire document.
    Type ⌘-C to copy it to the clipboard.
    In Google Docs, create a new document.
    When the Edit window appears, type ⌘-V to paste it in.
    Save as HTML
    Open the document in the desktop word processor.
    Choose File > Save As...
    In the dialog that appears, select Web Page (*.htm; *.html) for the "Save as type."
    Save the file, and make a note of the file name and folder, as you'll need it next.
    In Google Docs, choose Upload again from the main page.
    This time, specify the html file you just made in the desktop word processor.
    Using either of these approaches, you should now have the document open in Google Docs.

    Anyone else have this problem?
    It seems Google doesn't like the Excel version that Numbers exports. The file will open fine in Excel and if I re-save it from Excel it will upload no problem to Google Docs.

  • Autoconvert iWork files (.pages .keynote .numbers) to Google Docs/Sheets/Presentation.

    I'm using iWork every day and i have to use Google Drive. I would like to convert automatically my .pages, .keynote, and .numbers files to Google documents. Is it possible with Automator or AppleScript?

    If you download an app called ifiles by imagam.com (http://www.ifilesapp.com/) you can have access to google docs and mobile me/dropbox. So from pages for example... Export to MobileMe, go into ifiles, download from MobileMe, then upload to google docs. I have also heard of a way to replace MobileMe with dropbox... You'll have to google for that. I know that it's kind of a backwards way of doing it... But it seems to work.

  • I cant download docs from google docs

    Hi community, i am using Documents App and i have a Google Docs account.
    I make a .txt in my pc with windows, and i upload it to Google Docs.
    When i try to download the .txt file to my iPad (using the native Documents "G" connector) the preview option is avaible, but the "Download" option is disabled!
    This not occurs when i make an iPad .txt file and upload it...
    Why?
    Thank you!

    Please, someone help me, this problem is common!

  • Scan to Google Docs is still broken :-(

    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/Scan-to-google-docs-doesn-wotk-HP6500A/m-p/114...
    Could HP please fix it -as promised?

    I too am havinhg the same problem. It use to work so well that I used it almost daily. Then suddenly it quit working. It does through the passes. I confirms my credentials, it scans the document, but then fails on the last step. It says:
    Unsuccessful Upload
    The files could not be uploaded to 
    www.docs.google.com sue to certain 
    problem with the uploading service or 
    your account limitation. Try again, or 
    touch Exit to quit.
    Interesting is that I can scan the document to my MAC as a PDF and then upload it to Google Docs with no problem so it is not my credentials nor is it Google Docs being full.
    What changed and how do we fix it. I paid for this feature given it influenced my purchase decision over other printers. We need this fixed sooner than later or I am taking the printer back to the store and will discourage anyone I know from purchasing this printer!    
    I hope it does not come down to that.

  • Creating a cfhttp multi part form post for google docs upload

    Hey all,
    If you saw my last thread, you know I am working with google docs and uploading documents to it. Well I got basic document uploading working, but now I am trying to include meta data. Google requires you to include the metadata with the actual file data and seperate them by using a multi part form upload. I don't know exactly the process for doing so, but they have a handy code snippet of the desired results at
    http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/3.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#UploadingDoc s
    So I am basically trying to mimic that payload, however I am continually getting an error stating that there are no parts in a multi part form upload.
    <errors xmlns='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'><error><domain>GData</domain><code>InvalidEntryException</code><internalReason>No parts detected in multipart message</internalReason></error></errors>
    to be exact. I am not really sure what I am doing wrong here. I figure it is one of two things, either I am not including the actual data in the payload properly (I am currently using a body type param for the payload, but I have also tried a formfield named content to deliver it. Neither worked). So maybe I need to do something else tricky there? The other thing which I am not reallly sure about is the content-length attribute. I don't know exactly how to calculate that, and I read in another forum that a content length attribute was messing that guy up. Right now I am just taking the lenght of the payload string and multiplying by 8 (to get the number of bytes for the entire payload) but hell if I know if that is right. It could be I just don't know how to set up the parts for the message, it seems pretty straight forward though. Just define a boundary in the content-type, then put two dashes before it wherever you define a new part, and two dashes trailing the last part.
    Anyway, here is my code, any help is much appreciate. I'm a bit beyond my expertise here (not really used to trying to have to roll my own http requests, nevermind multipart post form data) so I'm kinda flailing around. Thanks again.

  • Copying cells from Google Docs to Numbers doesn't work

    I've tried multiple times now to copy data from a Google Docs into a Numbers spreadsheet, to no avail. I'm trying to copy two columns of data, about 150 rows long, and instead of it pasting into two columns, it pastes into a single column in Numbers.
    Why is this? Is there a setting that affects how data is pasted into Numbers that I can change?

    BH,
    It seems that Google and Apple are still on the "outs". I found that if you Paste the Google Docs cell range to LibreOffice, and then Copy and Paste to Numbers, all is well.
    Don't try copying entire columns in Google Docs or LibreOffice, instead specify the range explicitly.

  • I download firefox 5.0 and now I'm having trouble dragging and dropping PDF files into Google Docs and I can't view the PDF once uploaded. I had no problems with this in the previous verion of Firefox

    With firefox 5.0 I can't drag and drop pdf files in the google docs screen. When I do eventually get a pdf file uploaded I can't view it. I get "no preview available". In my previous verion of firefox (4.something) I had no problems with this and I was able to drag and drop and after uploaded I could view the entire file.

    Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
    This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
    I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
    It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
    I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again.

  • Python and automator google docs upload

  • Why are my jpegs or tiffs blurry when I view Pages with Quick Look or in Google Docs?

    Hi,
    I exported high-res images from Photoshop that I used at a much reduced size in a Pages document (it's a jpeg of my signature). While editing the document in Pages, the image looks very clear. However, in Quick View mode the image is blurry. It is also blurry if I import the document to Google Docs. Does anyone understand why this might be?
    Thanks

    I know what you mean, but I resized it by making it smaller, so the resolutions should have been more than fine. Don't you think? If I had dragged it into Pages and then enlarged the image I would understand it getting blurry but not the other way around. Also, it looks totally fine in Pages. It only looks bad when I view the document in Quick Look or upload it to Google Drive.

  • Using Google Docs to remotely convert documents.

    Damn, this is just too cool.
    GDD is a Python script that downloads all your Google Docs documents. What's even cooler is the fact that one can specify the conversion format. Which means, doc/docx/odt/rtf will be converted to HTML, xls/xlsx/ods will be converted to CSV (I don't really use spreadsheets, so I don't care) and PPT/PPTX/ODP will be converted to PNG (I hate effects anyways). I have tested it already, and the doc->html conversion works much better than OpenOffice's export functionality! Which means, you don't have to keep any office suite on your box!
    I just found this thing and wanted to spread the word, so I didn't investigate it in further details. I mean, there are several things I'd like to figure out:
    1) Can Google Docs be used to convert a local file that way? E.g., if I have an HTML file, can I get a .DOC out of Google Docs without running it in a browser?
    2) Consequently, can mutt be scripted to perform that kind of conversion on every document attachment and store it with the original e-mail? I guess, one could get Gmail to send all the documents to Google Docs automatically (I think so), but that will end up as a mess.
    And I'd probably rewrite the script in shell - just for fun (it could be a nice challenge, since I am currently learning shell scripting).
    So, why would one need such a thing? Well, me personally, I only write documents. They are usually not very big, but they need to be done quickly. So, I prefer a text editor to a word processor. Using discount, the awesome Markdown interpreter with lots of extensions, I can get all the formatting features (tables, images, footnotes) I could possibly need from a word processor. However, I can't send documents in HTML, so it would be nice to convert those to DOC (yeah, you can just change the extension and it would work in Word anyways, but still). Finally, from time to time I do get to read spreadsheets or presentations (but I don't have to make them myself), so this functionality is also nice. I am a total geek when it comes to being lightweight, so I was really intrigued to learn about this thing.

    Did you find a solution to this? Using gdd I guess one would need to do something like upload input, specify wished format, download output, remove input. Skimming through the readme, gdd did not seem to supported upload, though.
    I _think_ this is possible using googlecl (http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/). You can upload the HTML file, then download the DOC pretty easily, or so it seems. Check out some googlecl examples to see what I mean (http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/ExampleScripts). googlecl is in the AUR, hope this helps.
