How do I import a CSV file into numbers so the columns show

Thanks for the help.  I have a CSV file generated by the Google Keyword tool; when I open it in numbers all the values go into the same row.  I get the correct number of rows but only one column with five values in each one.  I read on here to check and see if the extension is correct and it is csv.  I've also dragged the file onto the number icon in the dock and get the same result.  Google gives you the option of exporting as a tsv file. Did that and I got the exact same result.  I've looked at the CSV file in textedit and it doesn't show any commas, but seems to have tabs.  But the tsv file doesn't open correctly either.  I'm at a loss. 

If the file is created as TSV one, its name extension must be .txt.
Numbers open such files flawlessly.

  • Is there a way to import a .csv file into Numbers?

    Can I import a .csv file into Numbers?

    Yes, you can import csv (character-separated-values) into Numbers.
    If the csv file is comma-separated, then in Numbers you can try File > Open and navigate to the file and open it.
    If you don't get the results you want, then try this CSV to Tabs on Clipboard Automator Service (Dropbox download) instead.
    To install, double-click the .workflow package and, if necessary, click 'Open Anyway' in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    Thereafter to use:
    In Finder (not Numbers) navigate to the .csv file.
    Right-click on the file and choose 'CSV to Tabs on Clipboard' under Services in the contextual menu.
    Follow the prompts (trying different separators if needed).
    Click once in a Numbers cell.
    Command-v to paste.  The Numbers table will expand automatically as needed.
    These steps are quicker and easier than they sound. Just a few clicks and a keyboard entry.

  • How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

    How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

    You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
    The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
    You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
    Then link to this using the url  "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
    My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
    My user name is "wayne"
    so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
    and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector

  • Importing a .csv file into numbers

    thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
    i am a spreadsheet newbie. i am attempting to open a .csv file in numbers. this file when opened on the internet does have each filed seperated by commas, not tabs. when i drag it into numbers, it opens each line in its own row, however it puts the entire information (lets say 5 commas worth) in one column.
    so what i am getting is everything in a numbered row but the program does not appear to be recognizing the commas as a reason to put the information in its own column.
    this is not a life threatening endeavor, i am just trying to organize my guitar magazine collection. i would like to find the song by doing a search of columns/rows and i do not think i can do it as is.
    thanks again...

    !? -- So what do I put in the Replace Text Field box?
    To type a return into the Find/Replace dialogue, Pages uses option-return, Text Wrangler uses command-return (or type \r), haven't checked Text Edit.
    If you Show Invisibles (View menu in Pages, Edit menu > Text Options in Text Wrangler, text Edit doesn't appear to have the option of viewing the invisible characters), you can copy a return, and paste it into the box in pretty much any application that will display the invisible characters. Actually, you should be able to copy the return character even without being able to see it—select from just after the last visible character in a 'paragraph' to the very beginning of the next line, Copy—but it is nice to be able to see what you're doing.
    (I have Pages, MacJournal, Bean, & Text Wrangler and a few other word processing program)
    One note on Pages: Pages does not offer the option to Save as..Text. For that, you have to go File > Export... and choose Plain Text.
    To restate the problem (and I appreciate your help)
    I have a new mailing list with about 100 emails that are separated by commas. The program I'm using seems to require each email be on a separate line. So instead of:
    [email protected], [email protected]
    I want:
    [email protected],
    [email protected]
    So I just want to do a find and replace on "," and replace it with ", carriage return".
    It would be SO GREAT to finally overcome this hurdle.
    Any of the three options above should do the job.

  • Importing a csv file into addressbook

    So I did a search & found this question has come up quite often, but with the person having a slightly different problem, so here goes.
    I am trying to import a csv file into address book, when I go import -> text tile it comes up like it should do and I pick the file, if I select ok at this point, it will quite happily import all of the data no trouble (but in the wrong categories). So I make the changes to what I want ie. Phone other --> Phone (work). Then when I click ok, the button goes from blue to white but nothing happens.
    When I open the csv file in textedit I can see all the values separated by commas.
    Any Ideas?

    I too just had this problem. To clarify all fields work and you can map them. I found that the Outlook CSV file had two problems which were tripping up the AddressBook import function. Note these were both in street address fields so I suspect the poster who said that addresses don't work may have been having that problem.
    The CSV load program does not work if you have commas "," in your data. In my case this was very common for some European addresses as well as some company names. And then the second problem was if there was a carriage return or new line character in a field. This later one was a problem with the address fields. I suspect an AddressBook export to CSV might have this same issue. Specifically, when there were multiple lines to the street address, they had been entered as multiple lines in street address one, as opposed to entering them in multiple fields such as "street 1", "street 2", etc.
    To solve the problem I opened the CSV file using Numbers and did a global find and replace on: commas, substituting the string --- and on the newline character "¶" (ALT+Rreturn) with *.
    Note to reduce some of the remapping I also changed all of the labels with "business" in the header row of the CSV file to "work". This made it a little easier for the AddressBook import function to map fields more correctly.
    After these set of changes rather than the alternating blue then white with nothing behavior it cleanly loaded all of my names. I could then search for "---" and "*" in addressbook's search field to identify all addresses which I had to clean up.
    I hope that is helpful to someone else. The import function really does work. However, it is not robust enough to deal with certain oddities in one's data.

  • How do I import an MKV file into Premiere Pro CS6?

    How do I import an MKV file into Premiere Pro CS6?

    Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't support MKV formats. To import MKV to Premiere Pro CS6, a recommended solution is to convert MKV to AVI.
    I've been reading so many different forums on how to convert MKV to AVI. Finally, I summarised three solutions:
    First one: HandBrake . This tool is a free and open-source multi-threaded transcoding app. It supports nearly any videos including MKV format and has Mac version and Windows version.
    Cons:
    1. HandBrake is too professional to handle for most people;
    2. It doesn't support MOV as output format.
    Second one: there are many third party software which supports converting MKV to AVI. I just test one of them. It's professional yet easy to use and the service is excellent. And there is a step by step guide about how to use this tool .
    Cons:
    1. Most of them are not free.
    Third one: Online-Converter . This kind of converter does a great job on file conversion.
    Cons:
    1. Like most online converters, the free version of this tool only allows you to convert videos smaller than 100MB. It's too small for video conversion;
    2.Your MKV video should be upload to the internet to be converted. This means the risk of pravite information leak is possible.

  • How do I import an iMove file into Toast 7?

    How do I import an iMovie file into Toast 7? I have tried
    the image file copy and the horizontal
    aliasing still is there.

    I am not quite sure what you are trying to do since you mention copying an image file. Let's start with an iMovie project and you now want to encode it. You have a choice of programs to do the encoding, Toast being one of them. If the video is less than 2 hours, iDVD offers more options and does a great job encoding the movie too. I use both programs. If this is the process you are trying to follow, then Toast 7 allows you to drag the iMovie project file directly into the Toast window (after selecting the Video tab)and it will locate the right file to encode. Set the various options for menus, etc. and then go. Usually, it is best to Save As Disc Image, and then burn the DVDs later from the image file again with Toast using the Copy tab (copy image file selection). If I create the image file with iDVD, I still use Toast to burn the DVDs. Toast 7 works great with iMovie 5, but I have not used it with iMovie 6. There could be some incompatibilities.

  • How do i import director 7 files into current premiere pro

    how do i import director 7 files into current premiere pro
    I have a project created in Macromedia Director 7. I was told by sales that this would import into Premere Pro.
    However I have no Idea how! Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
    But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
    I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
    Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
    You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
    Kindly inform us if it works.
    Thank you all.
    Cheers.
