Opening a Excel xlsx file in numbers 08

Hello,
How do I open a Microsoft .xlsx file in numbers 08? or do i need to update to numbers 09?

Ask to badunit which wrote that he may open this kind of files.
I was never able to open those which I received.
As my rule is to trash *********'s files when I receive some of them, for me it's definitely not a problem
It appears that the automatic vocabulary filter was enhanced. It refuses the word which I am acustomed to use to name the Excel's editor

Open password-protected XLSX files in Numbers '09

Hi @ all,
I've just started using Numbers a few days ago. I want to open password-protected xlsx-files. Numbers refuses opening it.
Why?

This is true. However as a workaround I found out the Quick View function allows you to type in the password and then at least get a preview of its contents. Note that this was not the case earlier on Snow Leopard (I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion).

Numbers crashes when I try to open an Excel .xlsx file

I downloaded an Excel file from my brokerage with the .xlsx extension. In the past, I was able to open similar file with Numbers. Now, Numbers crashes whenever I try to open these types of files, even the ones I used with Numbers in the past. Any help will really be appreciated.

Which operating system (I'm acustomed to out of date profiles) ?
Which Numbers version ?
May you try to open the file from an other user account ?

Opening Excel .xlsx files emailed from Windows computer

I have been unable to open an Excel .xlsx file sent as an attachment from an Windows computer. I did download the free version of WinZip Mac, and although I can open it, it is a read-only file. I want to be able to make changes and send it back as I am able to with .xls files. Stuffit doesn't work either. Apple support doesn't understand why I am unable to access it properly.

Considering you are the sender and receiver the solution should be easy. When you are getting ready to save the file on your MS Windows machine instead of saving do a "Save As" and you will see and option to save as .xls format. Once you do that your MS Windows 2004 version on your Mac will be able to read the file. However I think you're wise considering upgrading to Office 2011 on the Mac, that will be much simpler in the long term and you will have a version much more like your Windows version.
While I never used Excel 2004 on my Mac's I did use Excel 2008 which I disliked. However I have since upgraded to Office 2011 and so far found that to be a really nice product.
Best of luck,
Roger

Unable to open a specific xlsx file

Hello,
I am unable to open a specific xlsx file on my iPhone 5 which has iOS 7.0.4 in quick look.
I able to open other .xlsx and this specific file can be opened as a .xls
Unfortunately, I am unable to post this file due to security issues.
Would anyone know if there is a reason why I cannot open this as a .xlsx?

So there are two .xlsm files that I am using.
Both of which have the same code.
It is just the name of the reports which are different.
The macro code is used to email this report to the user which is on an active worksheet.
Once this has been emailed, we are able to open the report generated by one .xlsm code that spits it out as .xlsx but not the other on the iPhone.
I am able to save the other report as a .xls and send it across and I can preview it in Quick Look.
Unfortunately, the users do not possess the Numbers app.

Opening MS Excel 2007 files + Spotlight

Hey all,
A couple of quick questions.
1. Is there any way to open MS Excel 2007 files? I tried Neooffice and an XML converter (which I now understand can convert only .docx and .pptx files?)
2. Is there a spotlight widget? So I can run spotlight whilst pulling up my dashboard?
Please let me know!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Mustan

Some quick answers:
1. No. (Unless you count MS Excel 2007 on Windows.) MS is "working on it."
2. Not that I know of. But I could be wrong.

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.

Unable to open .xls and .xlsx files from windows explorer or from Microsoft outlook using MS Office 2007

When I double click on an .xls or .xlsx file Excel will open up, but I never see the file open up.
If I right click on the excel file and say open with excel I then get the following error:
"Windows cannot find file c:\test\test.xls. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again...."
Everywhere I looked seems to indicate the file associations was messed up so per a technical document I deleted the .xls and .xlsx association and then ran the Office 2007 repair and rebooted. Still not working even after office puts the .xls and .xlsx
file associations in.
Here is what I see the in .xls and .xlsx for the &Open action:
Application: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE" /e
UseDDE: Checked
DDE Message: [open("%1")]
Any guidance would be appreciated!

In the ened I had to go into Excel Options, Advanced, General, and uncheck the "ignore other applicaitons....". BUT this only worked after doing the Office 2007 repair.

Cannot open .docx and .xlsx files directly from thunderbird

You alredy answerd this question, but it didn't solve my problem completly. You send me this:
"Is it set up here: Tools > Options > Attachments Under 'Content Type' Microsoft Office Excel 2010 workbook Action: Use microsoft Office excel' Note you can click on the action to see a drop down selection if you need to change it. then click on OK
If it is not there then you need to set it up.
right click on attachment and choose 'open' a window pops up asking what to do. choose 'Open with' and either 'Microsoft Open XML converter' (I have MS Office 2007 so can to use that option) or better still select 'Microsoft Office Excel'
If the option is not available click on 'Other' See if option is now available or click on 'Browse' and in Microsoft Office, locate the Excel.exe file (it might be in a folder called 'Office 12 or another number) and click on 'Open' select: 'Do this automatically for files like this from now on' and click on OK"
But it is not working. When I do this, it works just for one file type.
Example: when i do this for .docx, select microsoft office word 2010 to open it, it works fine, but when trying to open .xlsx it opens also in word. It does not offer open with or other choises, just runs word and displays error that it cannot read it.

Excel, file association is ok. Even tried with Incredimail free. everything works ok there, butt I like Thunderbird better so I would like to solve this problem. The weirdest thing is that this problem is on a laptop which I installed from a disk immage. It is one of five exactly the same laptops, and all installed from same immage, and only this one has a problem with it,other 4 are ok.
Let me give you a little more info:
Laptop is Acer Aspire E1-522
OS is win 7 pro
Office 2010 pro
Installation of all suplemental programs and Thunderbird I installed from ninite.com
I've tried everything you listed. Even tried to swich disks between 2 laptops, to rule out any hardware problem of some sort.
As I mentioned before I tried installing Incredimail free just for the test, everything works in it. File association is ok every file is opened with its program when on desktop or other place.
Why is this a problem with those files I dont know. Other files .xls and .doc and .pdf work just fine. If there was an option to manually add file extentions in Tools > Options > Attachments it would solve the problem. I'm all out of options. If you can think of something let me now.
Thanks for all your help and your time.
Sorry on grammar mistakes ect... english is not my native language.
Best regards

Problems with Excel xlsx files and Presentation Design 2011

Hello,
I just began using Presentation Design 2011 and have run into an issue and would really appreciate your help.
I have very large files in Excel 2007 format (.xlsx) that I need to import into Presentation Design. When I try to do so, it automatically opens the .xlsx file as a 97-2003 Excel file, and in hte process, I then lose a large portion of the data (the file is very large, and the space limitations in 97-2003 are not sufficient for all the data I have, so I receive a message about compatability indicating that the data goes beyond the space limit).
I have tried looking online for a fix to this issue, and I cannot find it. I just installed the service pack 2 patch 8 file, and this still does not work.
Will someone please let me know what I need to download or do to be able to import the xlsx files and maintain them in that format?
Thank you!
Curtis

Hi Curtis,
In the older version of dashboard design 2011, xcelsius 2008, .xlsx(excel 2007) files are imported and converted automatically to excel 2003 format. So there are some compatiability issues with both versions and also size limitations. excel 2003 cannot have more than 256 columns. I doubt same is the case with new version.
Inside the designer data is in excel 2003 format. So you cannot have data more than the limit and some formats. You should only be pulling in enough data to fill your components in dashboard and remove any unnessary information from the spreadsheet . Since dashboards are meant for summary data, importing very large excels files are not recommended.
Hope it helps you.

Nikhil Joy

Microsoft Office 2010 Professional - Problem - Will Not Auto-Open Downloaded Excel 2007 file!

Problem, see title. If I save excel file and go Microsoft Office 2010 Pro and open file after opening excel it will open file but it will not open when downloaded as I did before I let windows process 51 updates to windows (new computer). The
error message I get is, "file is not a valid Win32 application". My OS is Windows 7 Premium.

If none above methods work, then you may try third-party tools such as next software at:-

It supports both .xls and .xlsx file formats. I have used it to recover some Excel files successfully. It provides a free demo version so that you can try
to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.
Good luck!

Opening an Excel 2003 file in Office 2010 Universal Data Connection error when opening the file from a domain.

Hi.
One of my users are having problem with old accounting files in Excel 2003 when opening Excel 2010.
The user experience that linked information is not being updated properly.
And suspects that it something do with Universal Data Connection .
How can an Excel 2003 spread sheet be converted to Excel 2010 spread sheet and still contain active links?
When the user is opening and converting the file as mention in your suggestion, on the common share on a common domain, the links "breaks".
we are not using SharePoint on our domain.
But when doing it on a local machine, the links does not "breaks".
Looking forward to get solved to this problem.
Thank you in advance.
Rgds

it sounds link, the links changed from relative paths to absolute path. You need to use absolute path in original file.

How do I get Safari to automatically open Word, Excel, Etc. files?

I can't get Safari to automatically open Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. files when I click on them from a Web site or Web-based email. They are automatically downloaded, but not opened. PDF files, and other "safe" file types, open automatically. The ""Open safe files after downloading" box is checked.
Any Suggestions? Thanks.

There is no glitch. Lion does support Office and Word. You can use Office 2008 or 2011.

How To Automatically Open docx and xlsx files in Safari

I am been doing some searching but don't seem to be able to find an answer to what must be a very simple setting I am missing somewhere.
We have an intranet site with links to a number of docx and xlsx files, I need to tell Safari to automatically open those files rather than simply placing them in the download folder. The only information I could find mentioned creating a file called "com.apple.DownloadAssessment.plist", I found an example of that file that was supposed to do what I am looking for but as far as I can tell the version of Safari I am running (5.1.9) is ignoring this file (placed in my user's preference folder in the Library).
It is frustrating to not be able to figure this out, typically I have no problem finding very basic settings such as these but this has me lost. In Firefox it is trivial and it must be in Safari too. Can anyone help tell me what I need to do so that Safari will automatically open newer MS Office files?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, but there at least you are talking to people who all use the app, while in this forum (which is for hardware and not software in any case, so already off the mark, since the problem has nothing to do with hardware), it is probably a minority.
A better place would be

I did see someone from serveral years ago with the same problem at

I wonder if there is another list somewhere of permissible extensions in that .plist....
