Ical export to numbers

Hi,
I'm looking for a simple way to download ical events to a another program like numbers, txt-file, etc.
Approach:
I have set up an own calendar for my daily time reports:
Event = CustomerName=8 (means Customer worked 8 hrs)
Place = datails of what I have done
Now I would like to export this data to number for creating a time sheet.
I don't like to buy any tool. So I'm looking for a applescript, automator, "manual work" to get this data on a monthly interval to numbers.
(Best would be to even get statistics out on a weekly basis)
Best regards,
Sigi

Nobody?
OK than some thoughts which tool can be usefull to extract this data?
I have tried already Bento (3) - this is not working anymore :-(

Export ical entries into numbers

I would like to export my Ical entries into numbers.

pbm,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
No, you cannot export to Pages. Even if you open the HTML file exported to a folder, you get different "layers" (background, text, images) on separate pages in Pages.
(Why do you want to edit the content in Pages and not in iWeb?)
To print as document, you could just print it from Safari.

When to export a numbers file to csv the minus signs don't work with R

Friends,
I have trouble getting the statistic program R to read my exported CSV-files from Numbers.
The minus sign doesn't work, R reads it as a factoric input rather than numeric.
Does anyone have a tip how to reformat this?
Jocke

Wayne, actually, I'm not sure but I think that factoric - or factorial is the denomination that R uses to say that somthing is rather a text than a numeric number - I'm pretty new to R.
But, anyway, we solved the problem but in a lillte bit of an awkward way.
The problem is that the minus sugns in numbers is percieved as dashes in R
(http://www.R-project.org, a free-ware statistical analysis program)
So where there is a numeric input with a minus sign R thinks it is a letter rather than a number.
We solved it by exporting the numbers file to CSV, opened it in text editor, copied the suspisios minus sign and pasted it into the search field to find all dashes/minus sign that didn't work and replaced them with a minus sign. After this operation, nothing different could be seen in the text but R saw the difference.
So this makes it difficult to explain by posting a screenshot - it looks the same but it isn't.
The funny thing is that the dashes that numbers use when to express a date are percieved as minus signs by R.
Can anyone understand what I tried to explain? And if so, is there a simpler way to do this? We have a lot of minus signs to export to R.....

Exporting from Numbers to Excel - New User needs help!

Hoping someone here can help me out, as I have searched the discussions and still haven't found what I'm looking for. I'm a new Numbers 09 user, and I love it. My experiences with Excel have been nothing short of frustrating, but with Numbers I feel like a spreadsheet wizard.
My problem is basically that I need to export my Numbers created sheets into Excel for use by clients that have not yet made the jump from PC/Excel to Mac/Numbers. This is crucial, as I just don't think I can build this sheet in Excel with the same type of success I have had with Numbers.
My Numbers document has five tables, a custom header graphic and a legend. When I export it to Excel, each table is put on it's own sheet, including the graphic and legend. Is there anyway anyone can help me export this properly or am I doomed to have to spend days learning Excel? Any responses would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
B

B,
It's a shame that you have become a Numbers user but are anchored to the Excel style of Sheet.
Separate Tables in Numbers will always become separate Sheets in Excel. If your clients don't have to write to the Excel document, why not send them a PDF of your Numbers document?
If you must furnish Excel documents to your clients, you're going to have to consolidate your five tables into one if you want everything to come out on one Excel sheet.

I am trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to a csv file, but it does not put the commas in

I am trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to a csv file, but it does not put the commas in. I want to use it with an HTML table generator tool, but the tool is looking for commas. The Export to CSV exports it as a spreadsheet with all the formatting removed, and no commas.
Here is the html table tool:
http://www.textfixer.com/html/csv-convert-table.php

Numbers '09 create CSV files with comma separated values if and only if your system is using decimal period.
If the system is using decimal comma, the CSV files are created using semi-colon as separator.

Ical export failing - partial or truncated

Hello,
I am iCal exporting calendars via FTP and webdav.
For some time, I have noticed that the calendars is not completely exported.
The export stop in a VEVENT. I have tried to reduce the calendar to a small subset of calendar entries, and it now contains 6 entries. As soon as I remove one the 6 remaining, the export completes.
I have upgraded today to Lion 10.7 but the issue remains. It happens also zith 10.6.
Is it a known issue?
Regards.

I am trying to export my numbers spreadsheet to excel, and it keeps saying an unexpected error has occurred. Has anyone had this happen?

I am trying to export my numbers spreadsheet to excel, and I keep receiving an unexpected error message. Has anyone had this happen? This is the first time I have had difficulty doing this.

Haven't seen this. Have you tried: exporting other documents? closing Numbers and relaunching? restarting your Mac?
Perhaps you could share something about the nature of your document. Is it quite complex? Or just a simple one?

Why export a Numbers spreadsheet to iTunes?

iOS5 allows you to export a numbers spreadsheet to iTunes.
When you do, you can find it in the iTunes app on your iPad, but does it ever get sync'd with iTunes on your PC?
If so, does this happen now wirelessly?
and where would I find it on my PC?
Does it get shared, e.g., with an iPhone on the same wifi?
Finally, why export to iTunes rather than the other export options?
Appreciate your insights...thanks.

It is not in the iTunes.app on your iPad.. It is copied into the iwork app itself ( they have hidden "document" folders ) , so that iTunes on your PC/Mac "knows" there is a file to share whenever the device is connected.
If so, does this happen now wirelessly?
Wifi as well as Cable, no matter what method you prefer. But the files does not auto-transfer to iTunes on your Mac/PC. You need to look into the "apps" section within iTunes, at the lower part all the apps are listed that support files import/export . Files you saved "to iTunes" will appear in the listed apps. You can then save the file to your Mac/PC - to whatever folder you like. Vice versa you can "add files" to the apps, and then on your iOS device open them again via the "open from iTunes" dialog.
Don't be fooled by the "Itunes" naming - iTunes used this way acts as a file manager.
and where would I find it on my PC?
see above. in iTunes - > in your device listed in iTunes -- the "apps" tab.
Finally, why export to iTunes rather than the other export options?
to create a copy on your Mac/PC in either pdf, ms office or mac iwork formats. For whatever reasons you like.
This iTunes procedure was the only one to get files out of iOS apps before the cloud appeared. You have to know that Apple restricts files and folders in iOS. It is a locked down system. Apps can't freely share files between them or to the OS . So this iTunes sharing is the only official allowed way ( also technically unless you "jailbreak" )
iCloud is easier and supposed to replace this rather clumsy sharing stuff.. you would store your documents automatically to the cloud and on PC/Mac you simply navigate to www.icloud.com/iwork and can download them in the format you want to your Office Computer.. BUT .. iTunes "old school" is RELIABLE.. iCloud is not ( yet )

Addressbook cant read .csv-files exported from Numbers (Solved)

Hello,
I can hardly believe this myself, but please try. Numbers separates fields by semicolons while exporting my address data to a .csv file, which seems completely feasible to me. When trying to import this into Addressbook, the applications moans that it cant import this file because it is not valid.
Do programmers from separate groups at Apple ever test whether their Apps work together? I just expect them to do so and I cant imagine a case more simple then that. This is really poor. The reason why I put this complaint in the Numbers discussion is, that there is no forum for Adressbook (whereas iCal got his own - why?).
And the reason why I pick up this topic again in a new thread is that the other thread I found related to transferring data from Numbers to Addressbook took a weird twist when they resorted to writing a complicated and elaborate Apple Script for this basic task. The Script provided there messed up with valuable Address data in the first version, so I am not going to try it here.
I just took the search and replace functionality of my text editor to solve it for me. But I still believe that this should work without headaches right out of the box. So Addressbook programmers please hurry up, go, fix it. It is just too distressing. Imagine, I did this in public with Windows guys around. I dont want to experience such again.
Yours, Christian Völker

Hello Yvan,
yes, I agree that Numbers is doing fine and by your explanation I even know why it does the way it does, but Addressbook remains broken.
Regarding your script I did not even bother to read it and I just dont trust it because I cant sue you in case something goes wrong. I prefer to do my own faults and in this case it was an even better and faster solution for me to use my text editor with search and replace.
To make the story complete, after the data was accepted, Addressbook wasnt able to recognize the field labeled "Email" as an Email Address and Street as a Street Name. After telling Addressbook about the meaning of the fields, it consistently crashed while importing. No, this is no good. A Script wont heal these flaws.

Hyperlinks in PDF files exported from Numbers 3.1

The new Numbers is slooowly starting to rock. The new ability to sort and rearrange ranged area is awesome.
I work with PR and we make reports to our clients. These reports are delivered in PDF files.
I have a serious problem with Numbers 3.1 and the hyperlinks included in my report - an exported PDF file. The hyperlinks seems to be randomly mixed up. If I press a certain link for a URL, the PDF might redirect me to the correct page or .. might redirect me another page from the report.
When I work in Numbers 3.1 sheet everything works just fine, all the hyperlinks are opened correctly. The problem only occours when it's exported as PDF.
My current procedure is to work in Numbers 3.1 and once a report is ready to be handed over to the client, I export it in Numbers 2.3 format and then export it as PDF - where all the hyperlinks work correctly.
But it would be sooo much more professionel and cool if everything just worked perfectly with Numbers 3.1.
- Has anyone experienced this as well?
- Does any one know if it's a bug - or if it me who's doing something silly?
Thanks for all ears.
Jakob

Hi Jakob,
BlackPlum suggets: "Thankfully, I noticed that in the Export... dialog box, (from the File Menu), you can select "Current Sheet" in the Layout field (this field defaults to "All Sheets", it's easy to miss). So select Current Sheet, and voila, you now have a pdf with multiple pages (and clickable hyperlinks!)."
Though my Export To ... PDF does not have such an option.
Hope a solution will come soon.
Numbers 3.1 with a very long table (will not fit on one page when printing) and two sheets.
B2 contains an active hyperlink.
B32 contains an active hyperlink.

And on the right,
Now click on Print...
Now click on PDF (bottom left)

Both of those hyperlinks are active.
Clicking on this one:

Export large Numbers document problem

Trying to export this large docment, after choose the kind of export (csv,...) the "save" dialog window comes up but, sometimes, comes up also the little "export" window. I can choose folder or type the file name in the "save" window but I am not able to choose the OK or Cancel button, so I forced to use the force quit window. I let also Numbers many hours with to the little "export" window to see if it goes avay but...no way. The only thing is force quit.
I try also cmd-dot to see if the export process stops in vain.
Note: Number is not FREEZE. This never happens until the "iCloud" version.
I am alone?

OK. It seems that I am alone.
Could someone tell me if the beolows error could be useful to understand why this semi-FREEZE happen?

Export page numbers found in a search? [edited by host]

I used Acrobat Pro 9 to search for a term in a pdf, and found where it occurs by page number. How do I export those page numbers to a text file?

Know what's even more inefficient ? Typing each page number in by hand because adding automatic page numbers boldfaces the text beyond recognition due to some jacked up software.
Look at the other poor soul who is experiencing kind of the same problem with absolutely no replies. His thread is entitled , "Text Boldens".
Oh wait ! there is a reply Mine , WITH THE SAME QUESTION !
So i figure it's equally as inefficient to post in the manner that poor guy did.
Well at least I know someone actually read this thread. Thanks for your help.
Maybe this is a good thing, because I am an insomniac and I get drowsy each evening typing each number by hand and then manually placing it WITHOUT guides/rulers, because guides/rulers are only allowed in Adobe profesional via a cruel & unusual marketing/punishment tactic !

PDF exported from Numbers on Ipad cannot be seen on PC's

Hello, I have an Ipad and just bought Numbers. When I send files by mail, as pdf, the file can be read only on Mac computers. When opened on a PC, looks like every font is replaced with a bullet.
What can I do to correct this?
Thanks

known issue, search on here for pdf export and you will find plenty of existing threads on it.

Ical export 1 calendar

Hi,
Is it possible to export 1 calendar to an ics file ? Now I only see the option to export all calendars in iCal to an archive as backup file.
or is there another option to save just all the data from 1 calendar to an ics file ?
Jay

Hi Jay,
select the calendar, you want to export.
Just above the archive option, there should be an export option in the menu, this is meant for single
calendars as ics.
