.xls file format - downloaded from Gmail, can't open in numbers

I tried to open it using a 3rd party "conversion" program called icExcel.app which i found on the web. I saved the file as Appleworks 6 which is the file format the program offered which Numbers would open -- but it didn't work. Any experience? I don't know what version of .xls in office the file was saved in.

Hi Ian Mcgrady,
Welcome to Numbers Discussions.
Is this file you're attempting to open a true MS Excel .XLS file? Or is it a Google web app? What message are you getting, what happens, are you attempting to open it over the web or off your desktop? The more information you can provide us the better someone will be able to assist you. I've been able to open XLS files without difficulty.
Also, please be aware these discussion groups are users as yourself helping users.
Again welcome to Numbers discussions.
Sincerely,
RicD

  • Flash cs3 unexpected file format ... how can I open this .fla??

    Hi there,
    Someone sent me a .fla file that I can't seem to get opened in my Flash CS3 program.  I think it's because it was made in CS4 which isn't backwards compatible with CS3.
    So, now I'm wondering if there is a way I can open the .fla file in CS3.  Better yet, is there some kind soul here that could possibly open the .fla in CS4, and save it as a CS3 and send it back to me?
    I would normally just ask the guy to do this himself but he left on vacation today and I haven't had a chance to try and open the file until now.
    Thanks
    Mike

    upload your fla and post a link.

  • If I upload Premier files to cloud from mac, can I open them on a Windows based platform?

    I used a friends mac to initiated a adobe premier pro project on a mac drive. I then saved the project. I uploaded the saved project to my Cloud. On my Windows based laptop, I signed into my Cloud account, downloaded the same project. I opened my Pr app, and could not see the project, though the parent file is openable and searchable. Have I not used the full ability of cloud, meaning have I incorrectly synched something? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 do not play the audio. Can hear audio on camera or downloading same files to a PC. Also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid problem & recover lost audio?

    Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 to iMovie '11 do not play the audio. I can still hear audio on the camera or by downloading the same files to a PC. Can also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from the same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid this problemand recover lthe ost audio?

    The first thing to try is to run Software Update (the Update tab in the Mac App Store.). This was an issue a couple of releases ago, and an update seemed to fix it.
    If you are already at the most recent version of iMovie, then I don't know how to solve you issue. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.

    Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat.   By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
    If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
    You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

  • What file format Oracle Database 11g can spool data w chinese characters?

    Hi,
    I have a batch job that spools data into a text file for further processing but now I have data that contains chinese characters.
    From what I know text file (.txt) cannot support chinese characters.
    Anyone has any idea what file format Oracle Database 11g can spool data with chinese characters?
    Thank you!

    I'm not sure this can work with SQL*Plus in character mode on Windows DOS mode. But this should work with SQL Developer: see Re: How to display Chinese characters in Oracle?
    I can also make this work with Linux:

    But the problem is that i want to do some text formatting also i.e. i want to make the Column Headers as Bold etc.

    I believe someone has written some code to do this for Java. I remember reading it a couple months ago. You should do a search through the Forums here to see if you can find where to get this code.

  • I upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1 on may MacBook OSX 10.6.8 and not all files I download from my Outlook Web app are ashx file, not what they were originally sent in. How do I change this ?

    I have just upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1 on may MacBook (10.6.8) and now all files I download from my Outlook Web app labeled attachment.ashx, not as they were originally sent (.docx, .pdf, etc). How do I change this back?

    I'm going to back up to Firefox 7 next. I'm getting the drift that 8.0.1 and/or flash on 8.0.1 are unstable.
    I'll let you know if that solves this problem.
    NOPE. This had no effect.

  • Problem in Font when file is downloaded from query output

    Hi,
    We are facing a problem as we are not able to simulate a scenario at our end where a file is downloaded from a query. The snapshot of the file which is downloaded in excel is shown below. The name displayed below has special characters in it. The actual value for the name is VÁRADI GÁBORNÉ, but when the file is downloaded into excel, the special characters get converted to some different characters and the last character ie É gets converted to “?” and the values for the next column get concatenated to the Name 1 column and all the values move one column left.
    Sold to     Cl     Name 1                                      Sal.per.     Sales doc.
    57983     CD     V罵ADI G罛ORN?00002110       2150451     
    57983     CD     V罵ADI G罛ORN?00002110       2150451     
    The procedure used by the user to download the file from the query is as follows:
    1.     The query is executed in background with file name entered in Save with ID option
    2.     After the job is complete, the file is displayed from the saved list of that query.
    3.     This saved list is then downloaded as .DAT file and then opened with excel.
    Any pointers to solve the problem will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Kaushal Mehta

    Hi,
    There is no problem of device type as when we are testing the query with the same inputs (same variant, same printer), the output to the excel comes correctly. But at the user end, the output does not come out properly. Infact the saved list displayed for that query shows the output to be correct, but when that list is exported to excel, the output gets distorted for the user (not for us).
    Thanks for your inputs,
    Kaushal
