How do I rename a numbers spreadsheet on my iPad2?

I am confused as to why when I revise a spreadsheet in the numbers app, why it renames it with a number after my original document name. I want to revise my spreadsheet and keep it as the original filename exactly when I save it. Does anyone know how I can do this?
What iPad does:
create 123doc, edit and save it
I reopen 123doc, edit and try to save it but it saves as 123doc 1
What I want:
create 123doc, edit and save it
I reopen 123doc, edit and save it as 123doc

It could be a document already exists with the name you're trying to use?
When you go to your Documents view and tap on the name of the file, will it let you change it back to the original name?

How may i place a Numbers spreadsheet in an InDesign document?

How may i place a Numbers spreadsheet in an InDesign document?
It's possible?

Hi.
You can import a .xls file.
First, go to Preferences > File handling > check "Create links ... spreadsheet files" in order to be able to update your table when modified in Excel.
Note that you won't be able to get any formatting from Excel file, so you should create a custom table style, along with paragraph and character styles.
While importing your Excel file, check "import options", select "Unformatted Table", and apply your table style.
Of course, no dynamic math operation can be make within InDesign Table, you must do it in your source file, then resave it and update your link.
If you properly used cells, paragraphs and characters styles, the formatting will be preserved when updating link to the spreadsheet.
Don't forget your .xls file is now linked to your indesign file (just like a picture), so don't move or delete it without caution...

How can I format my Numbers spreadsheet into a PDF file

How can I change my Numbers spreadsheet into a PDF format so that people to whom I send it can open it on their PC?

You can also "share" via iCloud.
The recipient can view it (and edit it, unless you specify read only) using a modern browser on a Mac or PC. The recipient does not need to have an iCloud account..

How do I save a Numbers spreadsheet as an ASCII spreadsheet

I need to convert an Appleworks spreadsheet to a Numbers spreadsheet and then save it as an ASCII file in order to upload it to my internet site.
Conversion of the AW SS to Numbers is no problem. However, unlike AW, there is no selection I can make in the "Save As" menu to save the Numbers file as an ASCII.
Any suggestions?

Peggy:
As you suggested, I copied and pasted my 450 row Numbers table into Pages (12 pages in total) and then converted it to text - I saved it to my desktop and renamed the file with a ".txt" tag. Then I uploaded to the server.
The result when seen on the net is a page with 10 offices with total sales volume, units sold, etc. However, using the above procedure, while I do get the names of the 10 offices, I get no numbers.
If any of you wish to contact my by email, I will direct you Peggy, Jerry and Brie, to the site to see the present result and future effort results.
Thank you for your time and efforts.

How can I recover a numbers spreadsheet. When I saved as a template, my original file was replaced with the saved version.

I save a numbers spreadsheet as a template and I lost my original document. How can I recover the original spreadsheet?

If the file you saved as a template no longer contains any data then I have no more suggestions other than restoring a backup copy.
Have you looked for the original file? did you use spotlight?

How do i get a numbers spreadsheet from my mac to my iphone have the numbers app so

i have a numbers spreadsheet on my macbook and the numbers app on my iphone.How do i get the spreadsheet from the mac onto the app on the phone so it updates through icloud

Not according to Apple.
From the document you referred to:
iCloud makes it easy to move Pages, Keynote, and Numbers documents between your computer and your iOS devices. Just sign in to icloud.com/iwork in any modern web browser, and all your iWork for iOS documents will be there — complete with your most recent edits.
Also, according to Ted Landau (emphasis mine):
To convert an iOS-formatted iWork document to a Mac-compatible format and transfer it from iCloud to your Mac, you must download the file from the iCloud website via a web browser.
Which makes the syncing hack he describes in the rest of the article, which I do not recommend, far less useful.

How can I save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file?

Okay, I would like to save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file. But of course I can't do that, since Numbers only saves as a comma separated values file.
Plan B: I can open up a CSV file created by Numbers in TextEdit, and I would like to Find and Replace all the commas with tabs. So I open up the Find window, enter a comma under Find, but of course when I put the cursor in the Replace blank and hit the Tab key, it just goes to the next blank instead of giving me a Tab.
Is there a way I can get a Tab into that blank so I can replace all the commas with tabs?

Hello
When we use TextEdit as I described, rows are separated by Returns.
It appears that your program requires LineFeeds.
Here is a neat soluce.
Save this script as an Application Bundle.
--\[SCRIPT tsv2csv]
(* copy to the clipboard a block of datas separated by tabs
run the script
You will get on the desktop a csv file named from the current date-time.
The values separator is set to match the Bento's requirements:
If the decimal separator is period, the script uses commas.
If the decimal separator is comma, the script uses semi-colons.
This may be changed thru the setting of the property maybeSemiColon.
According to the property needLF,
embedded Returns will be replaced by LineFeeds
or
embedded LineFeeds will be replaced by Returns

How do I rename a Numbers document on the iPad and view it on my Mac?

Hello
I created a new spreadsheet on the ipad. When I went to sync in itunes it created a file called blank. Better yet how do I work on it. I dragged to desktop and launched pages. Has to be a better way.
Charlie

confirmed on the renaming issue. Just tap the name while in file selection area and rename.
Better yet how do I work on it. I dragged to desktop and launched pages. Has to be a better way.
Nope, that sounds about right (except that you would have launced Numbers for a spreadsheet). You copy it off the ipad through iTunes and open it in the parent app.

How can i combine different numbers spreadsheets into one numbers document?

I am migrating from Excel. This is easy to do in Excel but I can't figure it out for Numbers. I have created four different Numbers docs and I want to have them in one document, so i can move between them conveniently and also to create a single pdf file with four sheets...which simplifies emailing to non-mac users. Can anyone tell me how i do this please?
thx lawrence

Hello
Yes, select a sheet, copy it in the clipboard then paste into the main spreadsheet.
There is no built-in tool allowing exchanges between two documents.

How do I save a Numbers spreadsheet as an earlier version

I have just upgraded to Yosemite from Snow Leopard. I have a spreadsheet which I have sent to a third party and they are unable to open it as they are on an earlier version of Numbers. How do I save my spreadsheet in the format which they can open?

In the current version of Numbers you can use the File Menu Export item to save to a Numbers 09 compatible file.

How do I get my numbers spreadsheet changes to automatically update idisk version to use on macbook and vice versa without manually doing it?

I am a relatively new APPLE type of guy.
I have a fancy new MACBOOK Pro and a fancy new IPHONE.
I've left the Micosoft world and have decided to embrace iWork.
Was happy to see app release of iwork for iphone - purchased it - and even though spreadsheets on a tiny phone are a bit tough to get used to - i've decided to keep track of my gym work outs on the phone.
So I set up a work-out spreadsheet on my mac - threw it it idisk - and sucked it into numbers on the phone.
So far so good.
Can't seem to figure out though how to have my iphone and mac syncing with any changes to the spreadsheet i make at either end. I have a copy on idisk - and when i save a change on the macbook the change is made to the idisk file - cool - but i can't figure out how when i'm at the gym entering new data - to have that info automatically updating the idisk version.
any ideas?
or am I just a dumb jock thinking that all of this is actually possible with out me continually bringing in new versions of the spreadsheet from idisk into the numbers version on the iphone?
thanks in advance

How do i get my numbers spreadsheets back onto my iPad (no iMac)

I recently updated to the latest iOS (7.0.4) and now my numbers app is empty!
I can see the spreadsheets in the iCloud (using iTunes on my PC), but there doesn't seem to be a way to download them without restoring the whole backup.
(it would be nice to be able to drag & drop as i'm used to with my PC...)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Drag it from the EHD to the Pictures Folder...

How do I get my numbers spreadsheet to print as labels?

I am trying to use my numbers data for labels and do not know how to do it?

Here are a couple of techniques posted previously.
This one uses an Applescript, available at the address shown in the message by Yvan Koenig.
See ElViejo1939's post in this thread for a technique using Mail merge to a Pages merge document, then collapsing that document into pages of labels.
