Is there any way to open an .xlsb file in numbers?

Our ad department has recently upgraded their windows PCs, and it seems the new default for Excel to save is .xlsb (excel binary workbook). Is there any way to open this in Numbers, or is my only answer to go over to them again and again, to get them to resave in .xls or .xlsx?

Ask them to resave as .xls
If they are polite enough, I'm quite sure that they may change their default format to .xls.

    Excel does not use the .xcl extension for any of its native file formats?  The only files I've ever seen with xcl as the file extension were associated with embedded application code projects.
    If this is in fact an Excel file, but an encrypted one, you cannot open it (in excel or any compatible application) without the decryption password.

  • Is there any way to open an OST file for extraction of info?

    Does the Offline Address Book download somewhere that you can check? Maybe that has the contact information you need.

    So I've got a weird one...
    Whole network kind of went down. Server crashed and the backups don't seem to have worked. A workstation crashed. We have the OST file from the workstation thankfully, but have no idea how to extract data. We honestly just need to get to the contacts.
    Emails, calendars, etc. are not even desired. Just the contacts.
    I hope someone can point us in the right direction of a free solution.

  • Is there any way to open a file with a .msi extension on my new mac?

    I have Camtasia from the pc I was using. It has a .msi file extension for the installation file. Is there any way to open the Camtasia installation file with the .msi extension on my new Mac?
    Thanks,

    That's a Microsoft program which requires Windows. You could run on your Mac if you install Windows on it.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Is there any way to open an VB6 execulatble application via a Sharepoint application page?

    Is there any way to open an VB6 execulatble application via a Sharepoint application page?

    No, only thing you can do is add a link to a sharepoint application page that points to a vb6 executable, once the end user clicks that one, the client OS and end user decide what happens next.

  • Is there any way to open .mts files in Qicktime and FCPX?

    Is there any way to open .mts files on the Mac? I am reffering ti opening them in Quicktime and in FCPX. My camera costs a LOT, and I think it's ridiculous that I can't open these files. I can't even find a decent conversion tool to do it for me. Please help!

    I just checked this link and it's looks like FCPX have no problem to open it.
    http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/mts
    .mts is also called AVCHD.
    I also check FCPX Documentation here : http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#ver2833f855
    And it say it can support AVCHD videos.
    VLC also support it for watching the video and anyway Quicktime X is useless with many codecs.
    Check again to import files in FCPX as i can't test i don't have any .mts files.
    Hope this help.
    You can read this also if you want to convert them : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1412182?start=15&tstart=0
    I will say it's better to use Handbrake, anyway it's what i use.

  • Is there any way to eliminate the locked file function in iWork apps?

    Hi, I recently added Lion to my Mac. Is there any way to eliminate the "locked file" function. I do not use iCloud or Time Machine on my Mac. Thanks. Bob

    I don't use Time Machine either but the option for this function is in the Time Machine options.
    Open System Preferences > Time Machine
    Click 'Options'
    The bottom option should be about auto-saving. To stop applications from locking documents, uncheck the box. To extend the peiod before the document is locked, select the appropriate time from the drop-down menu.
    Hope that;s what you wanted!

  • Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?

    Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?
    3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
    or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
    Thank you very much

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
    - 3D Toolkit launches
    - click in 'Scene Tree' panel
    - right-click on top assembly name
    - select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
    - select 'File->Save'
    - select 'File->Exit'

  • Is there any way to create a setup file Like Visual Basic

    Hi,
    I want to create a setup file of all developed foms and reports to install them to desireable location, is there any way to create a setup file in oracle, Like Vb.
    Raza

    I believe there is something from Oracle but it was frustratingly buggy when I used it a few years back and only worked via the Oracle installer.
    Personally, I'd recommend something like Innosetup, which is freeware and a Windows-style installer much like InstallShield etc. so it'll create an executable setup file probably OK if they've already got the Oracle Runtime components installed.

  • Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email? So that the user can print it out.

    Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email?
    I'm making the book for children and there is one chapter providing coloring pages. So I wish to attach pdf files that allow users to download it at the end of chapter so that  they can print it out. Been searching through discussion, I've found some advice about taking screen snapshot page-by-page > then send the pics from photo album to email. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that make the process easier.

    Warehouse that PDF on your own server, then link to it from your book.

  • Is there any way of extending a polynomial trendline in Numbers '09?

    Hi,
    The question title says it all really.  Is there any way of extending a polynomial trendline in Numbers '09, beyond the data that I currently have?  I can do this in Excel, but would like to be able to do this in Numbers too.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Unfortunately there is no "forecast" feature for trendlines in Numbers. Wayne showed how to use the trendline equation from the chart to create additional data points for the chart.  This is by far the simplest way to do it in Numbers but it has two drawbacks:
    If your data changes, you'll need to manually readjust the coefficients for your forecasted point(s).
    The precision of the coefficients is only three decimal places. The forecasted Y values using these coefficients might not be as accurate as you would like. For example, compare the forecasted Y value in Wayne's table at X=20 to the one in the table below.
    You can avoid both problems by calculating the trendline coefficients in your table using the LINEST function. it is a little more work in the setup but it might save you time in the long run if your data changes a lot. Here is an example of for 2nd order polynomial:
    The last "real" data point is in row 10.
    Formula for column D =A
    Formula for column E =A*A
    F2 = the coefficient for X^2 =INDEX(LINEST(B2:B10,D2:E10),1)
    G2 = the coefficient for X =INDEX(LINEST(B2:B10,D2:E10),2)
    H2 = the constant =INDEX(LINEST(B2:B10,D2:E10),3)
    Note: If you later need to add an additional data point at the end of your data, go to the last row of your data (in this example it is row 10) and "add row below".  This way the formulas for the coefficients will adjust automatically to include the new row.

    I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
    What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
    Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?
