Unable to open excel spreadsheet in iWork 2.2

I have just purchased iWork 2.2 and am unable to open any microsoft excel spreadsheets. Any suggestions?

Susy,
Running Software Update might help. Numbers 2.2 is not the latest revision. Not all Excel document types are compatible. What is the extension on the file you are having trouble with?

Automatically open excel spreadsheets with numbers

can anyone tell me is it possible to set numbers as the default application to ALWAYS open excel spreadsheets? each time i try to open an excel spreadsheet the computer starts up the trial office software. I then have to cancel and choose "open with" and then set "always open with" numbers.
Having just converted from Windows, I was able to set certain programs to always handle specific file formats, e.g. .jpg, mpeg, avi so I did not have to choose the program every single time i wanted to open a file.
thx., same goes for pages ,in lieu of word?

Select an Excel file and option-select (Right Mouse Button) and select Get "Info". See attachment below to set "Open With."
Regards,

Can no longer open Excel spreadsheets attachments.

I have recently upgraded to iOS 5 on my iphone4 and 3GS and can no longer open Excel spreadsheets attachments from my Hotmail. They come up as an E (which I think is Evernote). I don't want to use Evernote, I just want to view them as I could before. Even simple spreadsheets come as this annoying E when I try to open them. Everything worked fine before I did the iOS 5 upgrade and went with the cloud. I've no idea how to this happend or how to solve it.
Can anyone please help?

Generally if this happens the thing I have found to do is to quit the application and then restart the application by clicking on one of the files (like the ones in your documnets folder), not by starting the application and using the open command. Doing this immediately will usually solve the problem.
This could also be an indication of some sort of file or disk corruption so I would recommend that you not only check the disk using Disk Utility from the CD but also checking your disk permissions just to be sure. Instructions for doing so can be found in steps one and two here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
If the first two steps don't solve the problem then you might as well go to step three, otherwise stop with one and two.
If you have backups and cannot get the files to open then your only other choice will be to restore from the backup copies. Either way I would make sure that my disk was healthy, by following the above noted steps, before doing the restore, otherwise you may corrupt the restored copy.
Good Luck and let us know if this helps!!

Troubleshooting issues opening Excel spreadsheets

Platform: SP 2010 service pack 2. Office 2010, windows 7 on user laptop , IE 9 32 bit browser.
several users started calling recently about problems opening Excel spreadsheets. They are on different SharePoint sites on the same site collection.
No changes/patches have been made to SharePoint.
No changes to the site collection features of configuration of which I am aware.
The site collection is configured that users clicking on a doc library item opens in the application associated with the file type.
When I, as a farm admin (which I need to do due to permissions), and I click on the Excel documents on person 1's troubled site, they open in Excel as expected.
When the person reporting the problem clicks on the Excel spreadsheets, he gets one of two behaviors.
On the first paginated page (documents 1-31) , if he clicks on an Excel document, two instances of the Excel application opens.
On page 3 (documents 61-90) when he clicks on an Excel document, the excel data appears within the web page itself with a button at the top that says "Open in Excel". When he clicks that, he gets an error box that states
To open this workbook, your computer must have a version of Microsoft Excel installed and your web browser must support opening files directly from Excel in the browser.
This of course is interesting since on the first page, clicking on one of the documents uses the version of Excel installed and opens the file directly.
None of these behavior, of course, can I duplicate.
And, just to add another confusing item to the list, if this person goes to a different doc library and everything works fine.
So this does not seem to be related to add-ons (why would add-ons act differently between sites?).
The sites that I have examined all have the same advanced setting regarding opening the document in the client app rather than the browser.
I have not yet started the process of having a repair on Office 2010 be broken in a way that on different pages different behaviors occur?

Well, after the admins performed the repair on Office 2010, the user was able to click on Excel workbooks and have them open as expected.

How to open Excel spreadsheet in Numbers.

Hey Kids:
I have trouble opening imported Excel spreadsheets in Numbers on my iMac. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Previously I tried a demo of Office Mac that has expired. When I try to open an Excel spreadsheet I get a message to buy Office Mac. I've tried to put the demo application in the trash but I still can't open the Excel spreaddsheet and get a message that Excel is in the trash and can't open the spreadsheet.
HELP!

In addition to what Niel said...
In the Finder, click on an Excel file (.xls) to select it, press command-I to Get Info.
In the Info window, expand the Open with...section.
Click the pop-up menu bar in that section and choose Numbers '09.
Click the Change All button below the menu.
Repeat with a current version (.xlsx) file.
Regards,
Barry
PS: Unless you have something vital that you're storing in the Trash, you might also want to Empty the Trash to get rid of the Excel trial that's expired.

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.

Unable to open excel file in document list

I have an excel workbook that reads from several SharePoint lists. I have a group of users (5 to be exact) that are unable to open the excel file when its in the document list, however, when I email them the workbook they can open it and update the pivot
tables on it (that read from several lists). They were able to open the file in the past and this issue started around 6/20 when office updates were pushed out.
When they open it they get the following error message:
Excel Web Access please contact your admin.
The document list has 20 excel workbooks in it and they can open the other 19 without any issues and 5 of them including the one they can't open connect to the same lists for data. I even created a test doc library and added the file into it and they
got the same error message.
What could be causing this?
note: we not using excel web services, just uploading workbooks where some connect to lists for data

Hello,
Are you opening file in browser? if so please try to open in client by changing the library settings-->advanced settings-->then set client.
Another thing, what permission are given to both users. Try to provide some higher permission and see the result.

Unable to open files made in iWork '08 without installing original software

After re-installing my original Mac OSX to try to cure another issue, I find I'm unable to open my Numbers '08 files unless I re-install the original software.
The following message appears: Files that iWork needs are missing. To restore the missing files, use the iWork Installer to re-install iWork.
I can't remember whether I actually bought the disks, or whether I downloaded the software on line, as I'm unable to find any trace of software in the house.
Is the iWork '08 software still available, and if so, where can I download it from?

As far as I know, the answer is No. I have also found it safer to re-build all my MS1 concerts in MS2 rather than importing them from MS1.
It doesn't cost too much to upgrade from MS1 to MS2.

Opening Excel Spreadsheet from ABAP

Hello,
Is there any way to put data from an ABAP program into an existing Excel spreadsheet? I know how to put the data into a new spreadsheet but my users want to put the data into an existing spreadsheet where they have developed macros.
Thanks,
Becky

Hi Becky
Here is a procedure using OLE automation.
DATA gs_excel TYPE ole2_object .
DATA gs_wbooks TYPE ole2_object .
DATA gs_wbook TYPE ole2_object .
DATA gs_application TYPE ole2_object .
CREATE OBJECT gs_excel 'EXCEL.APPLICATION' .
SET PROPERTY OF gs_excel 'Visible' = 1 .
GET PROPERTY OF gs_excel 'Workbooks' = gs_wbooks .
GET PROPERTY OF gs_wbooks 'Application' = gs_application .
*--Opening the existing document
CALL METHOD OF gs_wbooks 'Open' = gs_wbook
EXPORTING #1 = <file_path_var> .
"*--After this point you can go on processing the sheet
using OLE Automation techniques"
If it is just the template to be stored you can save the template .xls file at the application server each time downloading it to a temporary place to open. Or you can store it at SAP Office templates folder. For SAP Office operations you can inspect "BC_SO_*" masked FMs.
And as a last thing, let me introduce you the SDN forums pointing system: You can assign points to posts you find helpful while solving your question. You can reward points by clicking the yellow star icon at header of each reply post. You can reward;
