Spreadsheets created in Numbers 3.0 won't upload

The subject says it all. I can drag .csv and .xlsx files into the Numbers for iCloud beta desktop, but when I try to drag a spreadsheet created with the latest version of Numbers it deems it a file that can't be imported.

I'm having no trouble uploading iWork documents to iWork for iCloud in Safari.
Ultimately, the easiest way to save iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) documents to iCloud is to save them to iCloud from within the application (File > Save and choose iCloud).

This forum is dedicated to Numbers on Mac OS X. So there maybe some people who have Numbers on an iOS device here but they seem to less active. There is a forum for Numbers on iOS you can post in.
The iWork on iOS forum is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios
I personally do not have iWork on any iOS device but can still ask questions that may help.
1) are the cells with URLs completely empty after opening in iWork on the iOS device?
2) can you show what the spreadsheet on the PC looks like? specifically regarding the URLs?

I was told if I downloaded Numbers I would be able to open spreadsheets created using Appleworks. Not true!

I was told I could open spreadsheets created using Appleworks using numbers. Not true!

Which version of Numbers? Which version of AppleWorks?
Numbers 1 ('08) and Numbers 2 ('09) are both able to open spreadsheet documents created by AppleWorks 6.
Neither is able to open spreadsheet documents created by AppleWorks 5 or be any version of ClarisWorks.
Numbers 3 is unable to open documents created by any version of AppleWorks.

Address Book -- Importing CSV File created by Numbers

I'm trying to import a csv file generated from MS outlook into address book. When I attempt to import the csv file that Outlook created, Address Book is able to recognize the file. However, I need to modify the file before importing. To do that, I opened in Numbers, deleted some columns and renamed some columns. Then, I exported from Numbers as a .CSV file. However, when I try to import the .CSV file created by numbers, I get the error that I have modified with Numbers, I get the error "Text file import failure".
Does anybody know why address book can't import a CSV file created by Numbers?

Many people have run into this problem, including myself. I had worked many hours on a spreadsheet in Numbers, exported to CSV, and received the error message when trying to import into Address Book. The answers to this dilemma are out there, but tidbits of the whole answer are spread around discussion boards. So I hope to consolidate those answers here.
The main problem for me -- and it's reasonable to assume that others receive the "Text File import error" for the same reason -- is that 1) I had commas in my spreadsheet, and 2) I had hidden RETURNs in the spreadsheet. Once I got rid of those two things, I had no problem importing into Address Book.
Deleting Commas>
The problem with commas in your spreadsheet is that the CSV format uses commas to distinguish when a new cell is formed. So having other commas will inevitably confuse Address Book during the attempted import. I didn't have too many commas in my spreadsheet, so I was able to quickly remove them. Yet, if you have dozens or hundreds of cells with commas in them, you'll need an easier solution. I imagine opening Number's Inspector>Cell Inspector>Format will have the solution of removing commas from, say, currency amounts or something else. Yet, how many commas arise in contact information? Perhaps the easiest way is to use the same method of removing those hidden RETURNs. Read on...
Deleting Hidden RETURNs>
You can't see them, and I couldn't find a "show invisibles" option in Numbers. So you need to search and find them. Yet, how do you search for something hidden? Do the Command-F thing to bring up the search field. The search bar should automatically be ready to search what you type. Hitting the Return key will do nothing for you, but hitting Shift-Option-Return will (you'll likely need to hit Return again to actually perform the search). Numbers will point out how many times these hidden returns are in your spreadsheet, which cells contain them, and give you the option to automatically replace them with something else (a space is a safe option). You can do the same search and replace with commas too.
Save your spreadsheet, export it as CSV, and -- as long as the only errors stemmed from commas and hidden RETURNs -- you shouldn't have a problem having Address Book import it. Good luck!
PS- After importing my spreadsheet, I noticed that some of my Smart Groups in Address Book were not showing some people who should have automatically been in there. The problem was that the Smart Group search had straight apostrophes in it, but the imported contact had curved apostrophes. The computer saw these as two unrelated characters. After some copying and pasting, the problem was solved.

Spreadsheets missing from numbers

Hi went to update my accounts for the week as I usually do to find that none of my spreadsheets were in numbers. Tried iCloud this morning not there. Tried restoring my iPad tonight and the folders show up then go again in a second. These are business accounts. I don't want to have to do them again from April 2012. What can I do????

I'm in the same boat. I think it's ridiculous to have to open another program to add tables. I'm experimenting with creating a row of text boxes, for example, if there are 5 columns, then I'd have 5 text boxes in a row, tight to each other, then I'd just duplicate the row. This works fine. However, on my site, midwestbikerides.com, the entire row needs to be highlighted.
Using the above method seems to leave a spot between each text box, without any background coloring.
I'm still working on it. If I figure it out, I'll post some info.
In the mean time, do a Google search for "iWeb tables". There is a table generator there that we can use with html snippets. I'm not to happy with that one though.

How do I see my Numers spreadsheet (created on my iMac) on my iPad?

HOw do I see my Numbers spreadsheet (created on my iMac) on my iPad2?

Why would you see it if you didn't move it.
If you did using file sharing (google it)
or iWorks in the cloud (google that)
then all you need is to open corresponding app ( google that).

How do you open an Appleworks spreadsheet (.wks) in Numbers?

Is it possible to open an Appleworks spreadsheet (.wks) in Numbers? If it is not possible is there a file converter out there somewhere?. The oiriginal spreadsheet was created in 2004 on a MacBook running Appleworks.

Numbers '09 (but not Numbers 3.1) should be able to open an AppleWorks spreadsheet that was saved in AppleWorks running on a MacBook. That file would have the extension .cwk, though.
.wks is the extension for Microsoft Works, and I don't know of anything else that opens those files.

Cannot open spreadsheets in latest Numbers app - "Unknown Developer"!

Having tried very hard to keep using the iWork '09 versions of Numbers ( and Pages and Keynote), I finally gave in and am now running a large and important spreadsheet in numbers 3.2 ( or whatever the latest version is). But now, every time I need to open this and other spreadsheets I get the the "Unknown Developer" message + "you need to use a more recent version"...! Talk about adding insult to injury.
Can anybody advise on a, successfully running the new Numbers app and b, even better, reverting to the '09 version (I still have these on my mac)..
Many thanks. Giorni

Dear Ian,
Many thanks for this. I was doing something similar for a while. Now my concern is that once the new Numbers app has forced itself on me, and most of my spreadsheets updated to the new version, will it be impossible to roll them back? even though I have the old apps still. Will experiment .
Many thanks,
Giorni
Robin

This solved my question This helped me
Hi Giorni,
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
Numbers 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.

Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Regards,
Ian.

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago which I modified on 11/4/13 and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed. Any suggestions?

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Can't open .xls files created by Numbers

All of a sudden, using Numbers '09 I can no longer open certain .xls files that I created in the first place by saving .numbers files as Excel files (using the "Save copy as Excel Document" checkbox in the Save As... dialog box). Some will open, but the vast majority attempt to open, and then I get an "Import Error - An unknown error occurred." message. Backed up copies of the same files produce the same result. New .numbers files I save as Excel documents can't open either.
Background: Earlier tonight while saving a .numbers file as an Excel Document, the blue "progress" bar got about halfway and then just hung there. Having not rebooted the computer for a couple of weeks, and lots of apps open, I proceeded to shut down other processes and eventually the blue progress bar finished and an Excel file was saved. However, after rebooting the computer, the above inability to open Excel files started to occur. Something in the "save as" process must have corrupted?
I quit Numbers, deleted the com.apple.iwork.numbers.plist file from Library/preferences, emptied trash, and restarted Numbers -- but that didn't solve the problem.
What would you all suggest now at this point? Would reinstalling Numbers solve this? (hmmn, where is that disc?) I'm personally fine with the .numbers format, but my clients are not, hence the need to save as Excel documents. Any help would be appreciated!

ack, this whole thing is frustrating. I can create new .numbers documents, save them as Excel documents, and those resulting .xls documents will open fine. HOWEVER, if I grab an old .xls document from a time machine backup (over a month ago), I cannot open it. Nor can I open an newly saved .xls document saved from the same original .numbers file.
It would seem that the only thing I can do now is take those old .numbers files and copy/paste the content into a brand new .numbers file. After saving as, the resulting .xls files open fine (with the usual "import warnings", but I'm used to those )

Error while creating document numbering series via SDK add on

Dear Experts,
We receive the following error while creating the document numbering series through the SDK add on
[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Too many parameters were provided in this RPC request. The maximum is 2100.
From the above error message I can suspect the following possibilities
1. The limit for the document numbering must be less or equal to 2100.
2. There is a problem in the coding in SDK where it does not allow more than 2100 lines in the database.
We tried to create manually for the same fiscal year and period indicator disconnecting the add on, the same error occured.
Then we created a seried for a single document with the period indicator for the next fiscal year, it allowed.
After creating the document numbering for the next fiscal year, we were able to create the numbering for the previous year also.
Kindly help us on how to solve the same.
With regards,
Yeshwanth Prakash

Hi
You have, as far as i can determine without seeing the template,defined no Part Appraiser Column (PAPP) in your template. But you have defined a function on the template to automaticly default the part appraisers.
On the Appraisal document persons (appraiser / appraisee) are getting defaulted as part-appraisers although no part appraisal column excist,and therefor 00 Part Appraisers are allowed. This gives the error. Remove the Part Appraisers default functionality from the template and this problem will be solved.
FYI: The reason why this doesn't give a business check error is that the functions to default participants are BAdI's and we have no means of determining wether or not a BAdI implentation will create an inconsistency on the appraisal document.
Also, the reason that it occurs as a S message and not as E or W is because of programming restrictions in combination with messages. All errors on the Appraisal Document will come as 'S' messages.

Problem when create auto numbering in BP master using Formatted Search

Hi all,
I have a problem in creating auto numbering in BP for Customer type using Formatted search
My query is like this
declare @tempNo as char(20)
set @tempNo=(select Isnull(max(REPLACE(OCRD.CardCode , LEFT(OCRD.CardCode,10),'')),0) + 1
from OCRD where (CardType ='C') and LEFT(OCRD.CardCode,3) = 'CU.' )
set @tempNo='CU.'left(convert(varchar,GETDATE(),112),6)'.'+@tempNo
select cast(@tempNo as char(20))
It should be creating the new number for example
CU.201101.1
CU.201102.2
CU.201103.3
CU.201103.4
The format will be like this CU.YYYYMM.autonumbering
So if the current year is still the same it will always increase the number and it will reset the number become 1 if the current year is change.
But when i execute the number , the number doesn't increase, still generate the last number CU.201103.4
I have use this query in generate item number, it runs well but different format.
Is there some thing wrong with my query?
Thanks in advance
Regards

I have the Numbers-applications on both Mac mini and Macbook Air. My problem is that they don't sync so when I create a Numbers-file on the MacBook while travelling, it will not be on my Mac mini when I get home :(((

Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.
