Ofx files crashing Numbers

Hello,
I'm trying to create a sheet using .ofx files. When I first tried to drag the file from the Finder into the table I got this error message:
Then after I tried, and tried, and tried again I got this crash message:
Any advice?
Thanks.
Ramone

Peggy ... I tried what you suggested ... and thankfully I didn't crash ... but I did get the IMPORT ERROR from the image I posted earlier.
I see though that the doc I'm importing has a .qfx extension in the file name, but in the Finder, under Kind it says OFX.
Could this 'discrepancy' be causing the import problem?
Thanks.
Ramone
P.S. I changed the extension from .qfx to .ofx but still am not able to import : (

Cannot open OFX files in Numbers 3.0

All earlier versions of Numbers '08 and '09 can open OFX files downloaded from banks and credit card companies. They can open these files directly or by dragging and dropping the files into the appropriate table.
Numbers 3.0 can do niether of these, it appears to be unable to open these OFX files. This makes this version, Numbers 3.0, completely useless for my bank account spreadsheets.
Apple needs to fix this omission as soon as possible.

After trying OFX and CSV files in Numbers '08, '09 and the new 3.0 I have the following comments:
When dragging and dropping OFX files to the older versions of Numbers the entire table is highlighted and the data from the OFX file is added to the bottom of that table and the data is arranged in the correct columns even if these columns have been rearranged. However, if one drags a CSV file to a table only the cell that the cursor is over is highlighted and if the file is dropped the data is added at this point in the table. The result is that the CSV data completely messes up the table.
In the new version of Numbers, version 3.0, not only can one not use an OFX file by opening it or dragging and dropping it to an existing table but one cannot even drag and drop a CSV file to and existing table!
Apple needs to get OFX file compatibility and the file drag and drop features back into Numbers 3.0 as quickly as possible.

OFX file on New Numbers (iWork)

Hello Everyone,
Since I update my MB for Mavericks and also my iWorks for the "New iWorks" I can't open OFX files on Numbers anymore (I used to open it frequently). Does anyone knows if this kind of file is not suppported anymore or if it is as crash?
Thanks,
Henrique Dornas

The new version of Numbers does not open financial exchanges file. You can post feedback to Apple using the menu item "Number > Provide Numbers Feedback".
You can also continue to open these files using the previous version of Numbers which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09/"

How do you import CSV, tab, and OFX files into multiple Numbers columns

This Apple function from Numbers '08 Help "Importing a Document" does not seem to work:
"You can create a new Numbers spreadsheet by importing a document created in Microsoft Excel or AppleWorks 6. Numbers can also import files in comma-separated value (CSV) format, tab-delimited format, and Open Financial Exchange (OFX) format."
No amount of experimenting with Import, Export, Save As, Paste and Match Style, or using other applications will enable importing CSV, tab, or OFX files into multiple Numbers columns. Instead, all data is imported into a single Numbers column, which then has to be manually and tediously parsed one data element at a time into columns, one row, and one column at a time.

Joe,
They all have worked here. I'm not presently able to try in Numbers 08, but I know I've done them all.
Just double-clicking a .csv file will open Numbers and display the data in a table. Dragging a .csv file to your Numbers icon on the Dock will open it as a Numbers table. Dragging it to a Sheet in an open Numbers document will make a new table in an existing document, and dragging to a table will insert the csv file into the table you dropped it into.
CAUTION
With Numbers '08, CSV files must use the comma as delimiter on every setting of decimal separator.
Numbers '09 behave differently.
With your tab-delimited file open in a word processor, copy it, then paste it into a table in an open Numbers document. When doing this, select a cell in the table, but don't double-click into the text field of the cell, then paste.
Why use this long road when we may import directly Tab Separated Values file (tsv.txt) with Numbers '08 (or '09) ?

Excel Import crashes Numbers and DocsToGo

I believe this began after upgrading to the latest IPad update: Neither of my spreadsheet applications will import any excel file in any fashion. Numbers begins the import process and crashes halfway through. DTG does the same thing. Vie tried importing various sizes and excel file types.
Since this is happening in both application, I'm thinking it has to be something iPad os related?

Thanks for your quick response.
I don't know what to say other than the problem that I had with numbers yesterday no longer applies. I can now open every .xls file with numbers that I have and they format properly. (I could also do this with the previous version so I thought that there was a problem with the 09 version.)
I still do not understand why I had the problem yesterday - the only change was a shutdown overnight.
Thanks again,

I sent an excel file with numbers to my ipad. When I open it with Numbers there is no data in the cells. HELP!!

How did you send it? Email? iTunes?

Can I open a Dropbox file in Numbers on an iPhone?

I want to work on a file with Numbers, sometimes on my iPhone and sometimes on my desktop Mac. I want just one copy of the file. it's experimental data and i want to be able to work on it from either platform.
I've got the file in a Dropbox folder, but when I open it on the iPhone under the Dropbox app, it opens only for viewing. Somehow I'd like to open that file with Numbers on the iPhone.
Got any ideas?

Yes, you can. But not with Layers, obviously. :~)
However, you have to go through the File menu in Photoshop:
File > Open
Then, in the Open dialog box, go to the bottom-LEFT button and select Camera Raw.
Do NOT select "Photoshop Raw" ! You want Camera Raw.

Can't open file from Numbers iWork08 in Numbers for Mac

I am unable to open Numbers files created in iWork08 (Numbers 1.0.3) in the new Numbers for Mac. I keep getting a message that says I need to save the file in Numbers 09 first. I don't have Numbers 09. Is there a way to do this? It doesn't seem right I would need to go back and buy Numbers 09 to save these files in the new Numbers for Mac app which I've already purchased.
Thank you.

Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations. You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default. Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it. It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it. Also save the serial number in safe place. Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year. HD can fail.
There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version. Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions. So it is safest to leave them be.
If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed. Can really foul it up.

Numbers 3.0.1 - Can't open file "Work.numbers"

Hello, all Community!
Here's a iWork Numbers file, edited and successful saved yesterday to local folder, named Work.numbers.
Today this file not opening anymore. Number's says: "Can't open file ..." And just one button "OK".
In system log here's next lines:

What I done to try resolve this problem:
1. Checked permissions and repaired.
2. Tried to open file in iCloud web-editor - no result. iCloud says that it can't open this spreadsheet.
3. Tried to convert file via some online file type converters to xls document (i will not put link here). Converter says that I have wrong file format.
Also I tried to open file in some other programs. No luck.
That's all.
File Work.numbers has been closed correctly and was no errors. Unfortunately, we have no any backup copy of this file anywhere. I know, this is stupid, but question now: How can I repair this document? Is any repair tools for iWork files?
The file seems like has right structure.

Unzipping Index.zip is passing without errors. It has many "iwa" files with binnary content and I can't get data from it. But, data in that file is very important for one person.
Could anybody help me to resolve my problem to restore Numbers document?

Hi rabg,
I am using OS X 10.8 on a Mac. This may be different if you are using iOS.
Does Numbers'09 still exist in your Applications folder? Maybe inside a new folder? Perhaps you could use Numbers'09 to open your documents.

How do i convert an existing excel file to numbers?

Just got a mac and need to convert an excel file to numbers, how do i do that?

You can try File > Open, navigate to the .xlsx or .xls Excel file and choose it. Depending on how complicated the worksheet is, you may have to make adjustments to it in Numbers.

Is there a way to password protect a single file in numbers?

Is there a way to passwork protect a single file in Numbers?

Not directly no - there is this work-around which should still work on iOS 6, or you could see if any of the third-party email apps in the app store support a password, or just access your account via Safari (you can create a homescreen shortcut for your account's login page)

How can I download a .xlsx file using Numbers?

I'm new into Mac & I have no clue in how can I open a excel file .xlsx in a Mac...when I tried it showed the file was corrupeted. Anybody? Please.

It may in fact be a corrupted file, in which case you are out of luck. You could try opening it with LibreOffice and if that works, save the file as .xls and try the saved file with Numbers.

How to import csv-file in Numbers 3.2.2.

I start using Numbers in stead of Excel. I would like to import csv-files from my bank, but when I open the csv-file in Numbers, everything is imported in the same cell. I composed a testfile: 01/08/2014,”text”,”more text”,”even more text” in Pages, exported to a textfile and changed the extension from .txt in .csv. It did not help, everything was in the same cell. What must be changed to become successful in importing csv-files? I am using Numbers 3.2.2. and an iMac with 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory with OS X 10.9.4.
Thanks, Joan Voormolen

You can do this using Pages. Without using outside scripts or functions. The Pages Find/Replace function will let you change the delimiter on the data in your file.
Open the file in Pages. Click Show Invisibles. (this will show you the delimiter used in the file)
If you see a * as the delimiter, that is a space. Some data files are space delimited. This is a really poor way to delimit numerical data files.
If you see a fat arrow to the right, the file is Tab delimited
Obviously, a comma is not a hidden character. Some files are comma delimited
Whatever else might have been used as a delimiter (for example a semi colon is sometimes used) will be apparent.
The delimiter should be something that is not used anywhere else in the "data"... text, numbers, etc., you want to delimit. Numbers considers a comma as a valid delimiter for files with the suffix .csv . It considers a tab as a valid delimiter with files with the suffix .txt . It does not consider spaces a valid delimiter in with any file suffix. But some programs use odd delimiters (semi colon, colon, double spaces, etc) as delimiters.
Use the Find command, then Find/Replace as you need to create that delimiter numbers recognizes. Let's say a semi colon was used as a delimiter. Enter the current delimiter (semi colon) into the Find box. Pages should highlight all the instances of your entry. Enter a comma (to create comma delimited data file) in the Replace box. You should now see a comma as the delimiter.
Important Don't forget, any other comma used in the file will also be considered a delimiter. (a comma in 1,000 for example). So check the data. If you see a comma used another way you will want to eliminate that BEFORE you do the "comma as delimiter" replacement. If you have 1,000, do a find/replace with comma as the find, nothing as the replace, first. THEN do the replacement of the semi colon.
Now comes the "tricky" part from what I could see. You want to save this new file with a suffix of .csv. (Export the file) Numbers will only open a comma delimited file with separated data (by comma) if it's suffix is .csv. Pages only gives you limited export options and puts the file suffix on for you automatically. CSV is not one of the options!
Choose Text. Pages will name the file .txt. Quit Pages. Go to the file on your desktop (or wherever you saved it). Change the file suffiix from .txt to .csv.
That's it. Open the file with Numbers. Numbers will create a separate column for everything between the comma's.
You can use this same method to alter your data file before you import it into Numbers. For example, one file I wanted to import had time=xxx . I only wanted the actual time, not the text attached to it, in my spreadsheet. I did a find/replace with "time=" as the find. A comma as the replace. Even though "time=xxx" is one "word", Pages identified the "time=" within the word to allow the replacement.
Numbers does not provide a "choose delimiter" function when opening a file. Instead it automatically uses the standard delimiter based on the file suffix. CSV means Comma, so if the file is named .csv it will only look for and use a comma as the delimiter to put the data into separate columns. I believe .txt uses only a tab as the delimiter. In the above example you could find/replace to a Tab. Then Export to Text. And numbers will open the data into columns the way you want, without the extra step of renaming the file on your desktop.
While some files use a second space (ie two in a row) as a delimiter that's a nasty way to delimit. You always want a specific delimiter that is not used within the data element.
The above is to import numerical data into separate columns. You could use the same method to manipulate a file that contains text. Let's say you had a file with the suffix .txt. In the file are names and addresses. John Smith 246 Rose Road . You want Name in one column. Address in another. Look at all the spaces, which ones should be delimiters which not? Are there any delimiters in the file?
If you open with Pages and choose show invisibles you can see. You might see John Smith --> 246 Rose Road. (the --> will look like a fat arrow in Pages). Numbers will open this file, IF it has .txt as the suffix, based on the Tab, with name in one column, Address in another.
Or you might see John*Smith**246*Rose*Road. Even though the creator of this intended two spaces to be a delimiter Numbers does not recognize that. Numbers will put everything into one column. The fix? In Pages, put a tab between name and address. Find/replace two spaces with Tab. Export, as Text.
Based on what you see (with show invisible active) in Pages, you can use the Find/Replace function to create the specific delimiter you want (tab or comma). You can use that function to manipulate the file easily so the data you want shows up in separate columns. You may need to get clever to accomplish the unique delimiters. You might even need to do two passes with Find/Replace.
In the instance above if there was only one space between each element. (not two as a pseudo delimiter) You could replace all spaces with a tab in Pages. Export as Text. Numbers will open that file with a column for each word (one for John, one for Smith). Then "Merge" the two cells (columns) you want to put back together.

When I try to save a new file from numbers, I'm given the error of it can't create a file. why would that be?
