Is there way to have Numbers open excel files automatically

Is there way to have Numbers open excel files automatically when I click on my old excel files rather than opening numbers and then opening file?

Try this: from Finder, select an Excel file. Hit Apple-i to get the file info. You'll see a section labeled *Open with:* Use the dropdown to select Numbers and click the *Change All* button.

  • Hi I am looking for a way to have trace32 open multiple files on remote computers

    Simply put I am looking for someone who could afford to give me a basic script (vbs) that I could run from an elevated command prompt. It would need to be available for me to type in the name of a remote computer or (mulitple if possible) and also
    allow me to choose log files to open or multiple files and then open them using trace 32. Hopefully it would detect the available log files and show me what is available to choose to open... anyone know of such a thing or know how to go about setting up something
    like this for people to use?
    EDIT
    I was able to create a basic script to do what I wanted but I want to be able to add wildcards for the rollover logs... Can someone suggest the easiest way to do that as I am not sure how to add the wildcards directly before the .log
    here is the script.
    ' ******Created by Luis Delgado*********
    'This script will get a remote computers .log files depending on which documents you enter in the "files to open on remote computer using trace32" section
    'Get and open log files on remote Computer
    on error resume next
    Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
    strcomputer   = inputbox("Enter remote computer name or leave as localhost for this computer","Get log files from a remote computer with Trace32","Localhost")
    If strComputer = "" Then
      WScript.Quit
    End If
    'Opens trace32
    wshShell.run "C:\Program Files\ConfigMgr 2007 Toolkit\CCM Tools\Trace32.exe"
    'Files to open on remote computer using trace32
    wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\datatransferservice.log"
    wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\ccmexec.log"
    wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\locationservices.log"
    !!!!NOTE!!!
    What I need is for any file that starts with datatransferservices, ccmexec, or locationservices to open in trace32
    my thought would be place a wild card in its respective spots but it does not work see below
    wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\datatransferservice*.log"
    wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\ccmexec*.log"
    wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\locationservices*.log"

    The roll over logs all have the same name exact the extension is .lo_ , So.. I'm not sure what you are looking for.

  • Opening Excel files in Numbers 08

    I have just downloaded iworks08 to my new macbook pro. I have a trial edition of microsoft excel for mac downloaded as well. I have noticed that I am not able to open excel files in numbers 08. Is this true? Is it not feasible to open excel files in numbers o8? In addition, I have not been able to open numbers files in excel. Is this also true? I have used iwork 09 trial, and noticed that you are able to open and create excel files. I assume this was part of the upgrading from 08 to 09 iworks.
    Could someone please confirm the above questions? In addition, is there any way to open and/or create excel files in numbers 08? Thank you.

    It depends of the format used to save them.
    I have not been able to open numbers files in excel.
    Normal, the default format is Numbers only.
    I have used iwork 09 trial, and noticed that you are able to open and create excel files. I assume this was part of the upgrading from 08 to 09 iworks.
    There are few changes on this subject.
    Is there any way to open and/or create excel files in numbers 08?
    For open see response above.
    To create Excel file with Numbers '08, use the Export menu item.
    I wish to add that with every copy of iWork '08, Apple deliver well done PDF *_User Guides_*.

  • Can't open Excel files with Numbers

    Hi,
    I'm having troubles when I try to open Excel files with Numbers. The iWork program simply shuts down and a message appears, telling that a "sudden problem happened".
    Can anyone help here? I really appreciate.
    Rafinha

    Hi Rafinh,
    Welcome to Numbers discussions.
    Numbers will open Excel documents. Sometimes deleting the Numbers Preference file will do the trick. Close Numbers then delete the Numbers preference file: home > Library > Preferences, com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    In the upper right of this window click Search thousands of questions have been asked and answered.
    These Discussions are enduser helping enduser, not Apple employees answering questions. Questions will be answered when a enduser such as yourself finds time, desires to, knows the answer along with the time to respond.
    Again, welcome to Numbers Discussions, have fun here.
    Cordially,
    RicD

  • How to list all currently open Excel files with ActiveX?

    Hello all!
    I would like to program with ActiveX a way to retrieve a list (array of strings) of the filenames of the currently opened Excel files in windows. However, I am fairly new to the ActiveX/Excel business in LV and after hours looking at the "millions" of objects in the property nodes I give up and hope some kind soul here can help me. I couldn't find any information in this forum regarding the same issue, although some were close
    I am using LV 7.1 without the Report Generation Toolkit.
    Thanks!
    /Goran

    Hi KC,
    thanks for your reply. I have in fact been able to find the desired things in the ActiveX properties/methods for Excel in LabView. It took me some looong work going through the functions which I suspected to be the ones. Anyway, I post a little jpeg here of the code if someone ever needs the same functionality. What it does is that it checks how many Excel workbooks are open and controls if each of them matches the searched Excel filename, if one does, it is closed.
    Enjoy

  • Some users can't open Excel files. It is trying to open it in Internet Explorer "An error has occurred. Please try again."

    I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message "An error occurred. Please try again."  We don't currently use the Excel calculations services. When
    a user opens an excel file they are prompted to either Read Only or Edit.
    This affects less than 5 people in a large company.  They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously.  There has been no changes made to the server either.  I can't find anything that points to this in the
    event viewer. 
    It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either.   All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64.   
    I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables.    This one has me stumped.

    I would make sure no one has open on machine / locked on machine (Would assume you checked this, but wanted to add)
    Also would have assumed you restarted the machines (:))
    Make sure the file security did not change (check to ensure no one changed the sercuity of the excel)
    Make sure the version of excel is the same (Changing from 2010 back to 2007 affects the file, etc.. on convert) that no one converted and saved thus causing error in file.
    Can they open other excel files?
    It sounds like the excel file it self has changed if you cannot see issue in SharePoint logs.
    If it is all SharePoint excel files - try deleting one persons access and readding them to see if that helps.
    SharePoint has issues ;)

  • Script to open excel files take info and put into new document

    Hi All
    I am new to applescript, but looking through the forums it seems to be the solution to my problem.
    I have large numbers of excel files on a pc server which i want to open, take approx 8 cells of information from each and place into a new excel doc, forming a list. I want this if possible to happen automatically, so if a new excel document is placed into a folder on the server, the relavent information is added to my list.
    I have looked at automator but dont think it works with excel yet, and the programming in excel is too much for me.
    I posted a query here in my previous job for a script of change all "/" symbols to "-" symbols, which worked very well and i hope someone more gifted can help with my new query.
    Hope i have given enough info and that someone can help
    thanks

    Supplied below is a, quick and dirty (minimal error handling), working self contained (applet) example:
    on run {}
    display dialog "Drag files onto applet for processing."
    end run
    on open (dragged_Items)
    try
    tell application "Microsoft Excel" -- Launch 'Excel' to process '.xls' files
    set tList to {} -- Create an empty list.
    repeat with i in dragged_Items -- Cycle through each dragged '.xls' file.
    open i -- Open each file.
    repeat with j from 1 to 8 -- Cycle through the eight column values of a single row.
    copy (value of cell j of row 3) to end of tList -- Obtain individul cells' value and place into 'tList'.
    end repeat
    end repeat
    repeat until (documents is {}) -- Routine to close all opened '.xls' windows. Here, 'close windows' does not work.
    close windows
    end repeat
    if (not (document 1 exists)) then make new document -- Create a new document, if needed.
    set k to 0 -- Location (position) of a 'tList' item.
    repeat with i from 1 to (count dragged_Items) -- Set row value, of where to ener column values.
    repeat with j from 1 to 8 -- Set cells' column value.
    set k to k + 1 -- Increment 'tList' location.
    set (value of cell j of row i) to (item k of tList) -- Enter value into current rows' columns' cell from 'tList'.
    end repeat
    end repeat
    activate -- Bring window to foreground.
    end tell
    end try
    end open
    Save the AppleScript code as an applet (application).
    Drag the desired files onto the applet for processing.
    The above AppleScript code obtains the cell values of columns A through H of row 3 of each '.xls' file.
    To automatically process the files of a specific folder - utilize the provided code, with respective modifications, within a
    'on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
    end adding folder items to
    ... AppleScript - 'Folder Action'.

  • Unable to open excel file in office 2010 client.

    Greetings All,
    User is unable to opne excel file from a document libraryof sharepoint online. In advance settings of the document library I set files to be opened by Office client application. Because there was an issue to open the files in browser. So I decided to open
    the files in client application. I changed the settings in advacend settings in the document library so that user can open the files in client applicationtill users are facing issue. Below is the screen shot.
    user is having office 2010 and IE11 installed in his computer. Could you please help me how to get rid of this empty login screen?
    Kind Regards,
    Supriyo Manna

    Pagi Supriyo,
    Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "reset all zones to default"
    Trusted Sites Icon>Sites button...
    Does the user have your sharepoint site listed there? Do you use Group Policy to map it to the Trusted Sites list? Do you have
    http://microsoft.com listed(server versions of windows do)?
    MS Online services (or any https site) will work just as well if they are mapped to the internet zone.. try removing them from the Trusted Sites list.. There are IE security zone settings preventing navigation into a zone of lower integrity....
    If you require the site to be in your Trusted Sites list, then you need to add the following entries...
    *.Microsoft.com
    *.live.com
    *.outlook.com
    *.Microsoftonline.com
    (the * notation includes all subdomains)...so that all the services from msonline are in the same security zone.
    You may get better answers from a sharepoint support forum.
    Regards.

  • Spreadsheet app that opens Excel files?

    I should have asked this in my last post about word processors in OS X. If I'm just a casual user who rarely needs to open Excel files (e.g. friends email me some spreadsheet about who knows what), should I just plan on using NeoOffice (OpenOffice), or is there some other option out there if I don't want to buy MS Office? It seems that iWork doesn't even come with a spreadsheet app. However, even if it did, I'm wondering if there'd be another alternative sufficient for a casual user like myself.
      Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    NeoOffice handles multiple sheets and has loaded my Excel files with no problems. I have not used NeoOffice extensively as I downloaded it to become familiar with what it can do, so I have not come up against its limitations yet. NeoOffice is a large program (338 mb on my external hard disk) which contains all the modules in one (rather than separate programs like Word, Excel and PowerPoint), so it takes a while to initially open but once open it switches between the modules with little delay.

  • Is it possible to open Excel file in XAML Windows Store App?

    Hi,
    If you want to open an excel file by a windows store app. There is no direct API in windows store app can handle excel file. You will need to find a third party component. But
    if you want to launch a file into its default handler, please see 
    Launcher.LaunchFileAsync API. And you can refer to the link below:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh779671.aspx
    private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    StorageFolder storageFolder =
    Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
    StorageFile file =
    await storageFolder.GetFileAsync("56.xlsx");
    if (file != null)
    // Launch the retrieved file
    var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(file);
    if (success)
    // File launched
    else
    // File launch failed
    else
    // Could not find file

  • Why can't I open excel files larger than 500 kb?

    Seems as though Excel files (.xlsx format) smaller than 500 KB's that are sent via email open just fine, but anything larger will not open. I'm not sure if this is a Numbers issue or an issue with the Mail app. Started happening ever since the iOS 7.1 update as well as a recent Numbers update (not sure what version of Numbers I was using before).

    I will have this moved to the Numbers for iOS forum since your question seems to be about opening Excel files in Numbers on an iPad.

    Well you can already view attachments natively on the device. If you wanted to do a little more then read on....
    Do you have the OS 4.5 on your device? That comes with software called "Documents To Go". You just have to register the program and Excel will be available to you (Word and PowerPoint come already with the program"
