How do I open a multi-tab excel document in numbers?

New mac for Christmas!
I am reluctant to instal MS Office and am willing to try out Apples programs. Only major issue is I cannot open my multi-tab workbooks that I created in Excel. I use them daily. Is there anyway to open them? Does the Numbers program have tabs si

What have you tried?  I generally drop the excel file on the Numbers icon in the doc.
If you want the files to remain excel files you should get excel.  If you are ok transitioning to Numbers give it a try.  Numbers will export to excel once a file is open but does NOT natively save excel files.
You can also try OpenOffice or LibreOffice for free.

  • Can we create Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi,
      We want to create a Crystal Report which will export the output as multiple Tab's ( we can use sub reports).  Can we create a Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008 ( not  Crystal reports Basic 2008). Please share any information/links on how to do that.
    Also if it is not supported please let us know which version supports it.
    Thanks,
    Vasu

    At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality.  It allows you to burst a single report so that each Group at level 1 becomes a separate tab.  You can control the tab names (and tab colors) via fields/formulas inside the report.
    You can also automate the process of exporting to (and also replacing or appending to) specified tabs inside existing workbooks.

  • HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007.  Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files.  The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
    These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files.  The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again.  I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
    FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
    It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files.  I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

  • How do i open a new tab similar to using ctrl+k in ie?

    how do i open a new tab similar to using ctrl+k in ie?

    Try Ctrl+t
    Most of the shortcuts should be listed on the full menus. To display the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key or press F10.
    Oops, sorry, Ctrl+k duplicates the current tab. To do that in Firefox, click in the URL of the page and press Alt+Enter.
    There also might be an add-on that creates a more convenient method.

    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

  • How can i open homepage in tabs always?

    Hello everyone,
    when i launch safari(5.0.4), it always open my homepage in a window. This was never a problem before, don't know how its happened. What i would like instead is that I have my homepage open in a TAB always. Since a couple of days, i have been tweaking around with the perferences, but no results. Even changing the changing the settings under TABS in preferences.
    Here is what i've tried so far:
    Reset, caches, cookies...etc.
    Deleted the plist file.
    Deleted safari from app folder.... reinstalled it.
    This sounds quite silly but i don't know how to fix it.
    what am i missing her? can someone please help.
    Can't believe it...i can't paste or drag a PNG shot of tabs(prefs)????
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Try Safari in another user account. If you have the same problem, log back into your admin account. Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions here for Using Disk Utility to Verify and Repair Disks
    Extensions are fine if the developer updates their software as needed to be compatible with the latest Mac OS X and Safari versions.
    Also, it could be a Safari third party plugin causing the tab issue. Follow the instructions here for Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

  • Left-click on firefox icon in taskbar shows a list of all tabs. how to just open to last tab?

    I use the tab grouping feature a lot. That means I have 100s of tabs open at any one time.
    The problem: once one switch between tab groups, the Firefox icon on the taskbar changes to what looks like multiple echoes of the Firefox icon. I guess it is supposed to represent multiple tab groups.
    Before Firefox 20 one could click on the Firefox icon on the taskbar, and Firefox would come up and show the last tab I have been working on.
    Since Firefox 20 a left-click on the Firefox icon on the taskbar now shows a tab list of 28+ seemingly random tabs. Many of them just says "Mozilla Firefox" instead of the website represented by that tab (because the tab was not accessed recently).
    To open Firefox to the last tab I have been working on is now a real chore. I now have to pick one of these 28+ tabs (which is 99% of the time the wrong tab), then switch to the correct tab group, and then find the tab I have been working on. It typically takes 5-10 clicks to get back to where I was before I minimized Firefox, or before Firefox lost the focus. (In the past I could simply click on the Firefox icon on the taskbar, and Firefox restored where I last left off.)
    How can I turn off the tab list that pops up when one left-click or hover the mouse over the Firefox icon on the taskbar? I would love to get the ability to minimize/restore Firefox back by clicking on the Firefox icon on the taskbar as it was in the past, not get a choice of random tabs.

    Okay, with a lack of replies here, here are some solutions I came up with:
    * Quit Firefox and restart it. It reduces the number of clicks to just two. It is even faster than wading through the list of tab groups and tabs to get back to the last tab I was working on.
    * Use Alt-Tab to switch between applications instead of clicking on the Firefox icon on the taskbar. I'll have to change my habits, as I'm used to clicking on the icon to toggle between applications, especially if one has many applications open. I typically have a dozen applications open at any time, and Alt-Tabbing through them all can be time-consuming.
    * I found nothing that seems related in the about:config screens, e.g. an option to turn off tab.list
    * Switch to Chrome.
    Anyone got better ideas or solutions?

  • How do I open a new tab/new URL from a plugin's sidebar?

    I have created a plugin with a sidebar. I would like to be able to change the URL of the current tab in the sidebar's window or open a new tab, given that I click a button in the sidebar (or an event is triggered in the sidebar). I am currently using the following Javascript code to go to a new URL:
    content.location = newURL;
    However, I have other buttons in the sidebar that open new (small) windows. If I first click one of these buttons to open a new window, then the above code fails; it changes the URL of the tab in THAT NEW WINDOW, not in the window of the sidebar. How do I change this?
    This also seems to be complicated by the fact that the sidebar document does not have a parent. Any tips are appreciated!

    Hi fireferret817,
    Thank you for your question, however development questions are best answered in stackoverflow.com or the mozllazine.com forums.
    If there are any differences made when you change the behavior of opening up a new url this option can be found in the Preferences/Options > Tab menu.

  • How do I open a new tab on speed dial?

    I have speed dial as my home page which is fine, but when I click on one of the boxes it loads in the same tab. How do I open them in a new tab?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    From the [http://speeddial.uworks.net/accessingentries.html Speed Dial homepage Manual]: "If you hold the "Shift" key while clicking, the URL will be opened in a new window. Holding the "Control" key, or using middle button click, will open the URL into a new tab."

  • How do i open a new tab in firefox 6.01? the + symbol has disappeared

    how do open a new tab in firefox 6.01? the + symbol has disappeared - the tab grouping stuff is not intuitive

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • How do you open a multi page tif be opened in Photoshop?

    I have an embedded tif with a render, shadow layers and other channels in one tif. (Not created in Photoshop)
    I thought it was multilayered tif, but I think it's called a multi page tif.
    When I open it in Photoshop it opens the top layer/page, and none of the others. (It doesn't give the option to choose a page/layer either).
    How can you open the tif in Photoshop and still access all the layers?
    I thought it would be like opening a normal tif created in Photoshop...

    Nope. Render it again to separate files or split it in another program.
