any help is appreciated.
Thanks

In the time between when the sheet was last opened successfully and when you got this error, did you do anything that would affect Numbers? This would include, and as far as I can imagine, be limited to updating your OS or updating Numbers. If so, it likely did not update properly. Delete Numbers and reinstall.
Do your other existing documents open? If not, this would also suggest a faulty update. But if the problem is limited to this one document, it likely failed to save properly last time you closed it and is now corrupted. If you have backed up your device recently, try restoring from the backup.
Unfortunately this is really all you can do: reinstall the app, and restore a backup. Sometimes data corrupts. I duplicate my most important documents weekly and send from the device to iCloud or vice versa for this reason.

I updated to 13.2.3 and everything is working again.
And of course I don’t need that file today. LOL!
Must have been something wonky in 13.2.2. Thanks for your help Bismarck.
That’s good news - it’s not a corrupt file.
It’s not a global issue, so it sounds like a potential faulty update. Resetting the phone will fix many of these issues, but as iOS 13.2.3 is available, I would try updating first.
I am currently running iOS 13.2.2 on an iPhone XS Max
I'm on 13.2.3 and still experiencing this issue.
I have updated the OS since I last opened this doc. I can not open anything inside of Numbers......none of my existing files or even create a new document. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling and receive the same error messages. Everything is saved to iCloud and opens fine on my Mac.....but nothing will open on my iPhone.
