Can't open numbers spreadsheets on Ipad after upgrade to IPadOS 13.2

Since I upgraded to IpadOS 13.2 I can't open any Numbers spreadsheets created on MacBook and shared via Icloud, nor can I create new spreadsheets using Numbers on Ipad. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the Numbers app but that made no difference.

Error message when I click either on a standard template to create a new spreadsheet, or try to open existing file is ...

Can't open Spreadsheet

"<<filename>>" can't be opened right now. Numbers couldn't read the file. You can try restoring to a previous version.

iPad Air, iOS 12

Thank you - yes that worked for me too... I'd assumed re-installing app would have been enough.. All working now and thanks.

The problem is, that this seems to keep coming back every so often. I have a similar problem with Catalina on my MacBook - get the feel8ng that is somehow iCloud related.
