Import EXCEL Worksheet into NUMBERS

I would like to import old excel worksheets into NUMBERS

In addition to what James already said, iOS Numbers has fewer fonts available than even the OS X version of Numbers, so the iOS version is even more likely to have to substitute.
Even if you go to one of the Office compatibility suites like Documents to Go or Google's QuickOffice, you may run into that problem on an iOS device - iOS apps simply do not support the number or variety of fonts available on an OS X or a Windows machine.
If you stick to simple fonts at the office (Arial, Calibre, Times) you will usually have few problems when you move the file to an iOS device.
Also note that things like color coding in cells, and other cell formatting in Excel may not survive the transition to Numbers in iOS (and especially not going back yet again to excel in Windows), so best to keep formatting simple as well.
The reality is that any Tablet OS is a compromise of a true desktop/laptop computer OS, and the more complex the desktop application, the more likely the tablet version has to make major compromises in compatibility.  If you keep your desktop documents as simple and straightforward as possible, then you'll increase the ability to go back and forth from tablet to desktop.

  • Importing excel documents into Numbers problem

    When I try to open .xls files in Numbers, I often get the message that the file is to large to translate.
    Is there a solution to this? I don't want to buy Microsoft Office!
    Message was edited by: downtoearth

    In Numbers, a table is restricted to 256 column and 63536 rows.
    The reported message is displayed becaue at least one of these limit is crossed.
    The only workaround would be to ask the author to break the original tables in smaller ones matching the limits.
    I didn't check if the free openOffice or neoOffice are able to open such huge tables.

    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

  • Problems appearing when exporting excel file into numbers file

    Hello,
    I have a Problem, need HELP!!
    I have an excel file with graphics, and data are written on graphs: these data are percentages. When I export my excel file on numbers (becomes therefore a numbers file), my problem appears: When I have for example 24% on a graph, it becomes 0.24 and I can't find the way to write it 24% again.
    Also I have a problem with graphics titles: when I export the excel file into numbers, graphics title are not correctly centered anymore and I cannot find the way to fix them correctly...
    Thanks a lot!!!!

    It seems that only sectorial charts may display percent.
    Also I have a problem with graphics titles: when I export the excel file into numbers, graphics title are not correctly centered anymore and I cannot find the way to fix them correctly...
    Sounds as if you are in cases where the charts are imported as a single graphic block, not as different components.
    Maybe you will find explanation in:

  • How to import excel list into drop down menu in acrobat pro DC

    Does anyone know if an excel list of 527 items can be imported into a drop down menu in adobe acrobat DC? I am on a mac v10.10.

    I would convert the Excel worksheet into a tab delimited file. Edit that file in a text editor, not Word, into a list that meets the formatting for the array for the setItems. method. Then add the code to use that array to set the items for the drop down field. So you have something like:
    var MyItems = new Array("One", "Two", "Three");
    this.getField("Dropdown1").setItems(MyItems);
    You can then cut and paste this into the JavaScript console, highlight text and execute the text. Or cut and paste the code into a document level JavaScript.

  • Importing excel data into oracle tables

    Hello gurus,
    Importing excel data into oracle tables..
    I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
    Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
    Here is wat i have
       - Excel file on local computer.
       - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
       - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
       - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
    Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
        - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
       SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
    Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
    If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
    Thank you so much!!!

    Imran,
    This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
    Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
    try this:
    load data
    infile 'C:\dest.csv'
    into table dest_table
    fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
    TRAILING NULLCOLS
    (name,
    owner_nm,
    description_column,
    UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')
    {code}
    you can get more info about sql loader and your error here:

    http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
    And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
    Any thoughts ???
    It is same as a delimiter text file.
    steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
    1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
    2. Save the file as unicode text.
    3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
    4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
    5. Your .dat file is ready.
    Regards
    Imran

  • Import excel graphs into illustrator

    When I try to import the graphs from excel into Illustrator the text converts into a gibberish. Is there any proper way to import excel graphs into illustrator?

    Obviously it helps if you have got the same fonts in the Excel and the Illie files. But I believe that this is not the whole answer – or at least there is a nice difference between gibberish and utter gibberish.
    For example if you try to open a .docx  or .xlsx file in TextEdit you will get totally mind-boggling utter gibberish, whereas .doc and .xls files usually behave more or less normally even if there is a font conflict.
    Now Auntie Illie is very fussy about her fonts, so do what dandidotcom says first and if you still get utter gibberish even with the right fonts, try downsaving the Excel file to .xls.

  • Can't import data-only Excel doc into Numbers 2013

    This is a disaster.
    I just downloaded two .xlsx Excel documents, and attempted to open them in the new (2013) Numbers.
    These were the simplest possible documents. 101 rows, 17 colmns, no header/side labels. I don't think it included any calculations at all. My coworker used Excel simply to format her data as a table.
    The imported Excel table is almost completely blank. A column of dates, and a couple of columns of literal numbers survived. It lost all of the text. I'm sure the column widths were lost. If you try to edit a cell, the editing bar at the bottom does nothing; it has no content, it does not respond to keys or clicks, it stays blank and unresponsive when you select a cell. If you type an = in a cell, there is no expression builder, and clicking in other cells to add them to a calculation merely changes the selection to those cells.
    In iWork 2009, the apps posted a notice when they couldn't make a 100% faithful import — and in my usage, those were for missing fonts, not absent functionality. No such notice here.
    My question:
    Is there any way I can read at least a spreadsheet that makes no use of Excel features?
    Further remark, but not a question
    I had heard that the days were gone when people had to install Office because that's what they use at work. I managed to get away without using Office from 1989 to this day. I think it's ironic that at the moment Microsoft lost its lock on productivity tools, I am now forced to install Office.

    Forgive me, this is not practical advice.
    I installed Numbers 3. From the Mac App Store, there being no other way. As is its practice, MAS, wipes out every trace of previous versions of the software it replaces. Numbers 2.3 simply does not exist on my machine.
    Yes, I have Time Machine backups. Have you tried drag-installing iWorks applications? They will not run. They rely on system-level frameworks that I am not confident I can dig out of Time Machine.
    No, I do not have my original distribution media for iWorks. I bought iWorks nearly six years ago, when computers still had optical drives. It happens I have a couple of 3.5" floppies from the first developer-tools releases in 1984, but those are relics. I don't have the DVD (or CD?).
    If I did have the DVD, it would not contain version 2.3. 2.3 came from an Apple update I downloaded from the support site five years ago. I challenge you to give me a live URL for that updater.
    P.S. Perhaps I am oversensitive, but I think the implication is gratuitous, that only a fancy-pants rocket scientist would want to import a spreadsheet that contains 100 lines of dates, text, and numbers in 17 columns.
    When one double-clicks an .xlsx file, Numbers opens it. Import of Excel files is not an advanced future direction. It is an intended function of the application today. Numbers responds to double-clicking .xlsx files today. If it were not an intended function, it would not attempt to open the file; or at least it would post some kind of alert that the operation is not yet implemented.

    Thanks Lyndon, what I need is map any table someone create in Excel worksheet to Oracle repository.For example to map Excel worksheet(employee)table with its 2 columns to oracle table META_OBJECTTYPES(OBJECTTYPEID pk,OBJECTTYPENAME,OBJECTTYPEDESC, OBJECTMETATYPE,OBJECTDOMAIN). In my case I have 2 objecttypes 1)table(employee) and 2nd columns:employee_id,employee_name
    --for inserting table info manually into DB:
    INSERT INTO META_OBJECTS
    (OBJECTKEY, OBJECTTYPEID,OBJECTNAME,OBJECTDESC)
    VALUES
    (META_OBJECTS_SEQ.NEXTVAL,
    4, --TABLE  
    'employee',--notice this is table name from Excel worksheet
    'Table to store employee info')
    --for inserting columns info:
    INSERT INTO META_OBJECTS
    (OBJECTKEY, OBJECTTYPEID,OBJECTNAME,OBJECTDESC)
    VALUES
    (META_OBJECTS_SEQ.NEXTVAL,5,'employee_id or name','employee column')
    notice above I insert manually Excel worksheet employee table with its two cols into oracle meta_objecttypes. What I want is VB to do this I mean if I go to Toad and erase what I insert in meta_objecttypes when I run vb, the program should map table employee with its 2 cols to Toad(DB). I hope it is clear now. Please refer to 1 st post for 3 other tables in DB

    Don't know if this will help you or not, but I have some code that will read from and Excel spreadsheet and put the data into a DataSet (i'm sure something else could be used).
    string connectionString =
    @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=d:\\testRead.xls;Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1";
    DbProviderFactory factory =
    DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("System.Data.OleDb");
    DbDataAdapter adapter = factory.CreateDataAdapter();
    DbCommand selectCommand = factory.CreateCommand();
    selectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [dogs$]";
    DbConnection connection = factory.CreateConnection();
    connection.ConnectionString = connectionString;
    selectCommand.Connection = connection;
    adapter.SelectCommand = selectCommand;
    DataSet cities = new DataSet();
    adapter.Fill(cities);
    GridView1.DataSource = cities;
    GridView1.DataBind();
    Your provider might be different; the one above is for Office 2007. The [dogs$] in the selectCommand.commandText is the name of the worksheet in Excel.
    Hope this helps
