When using "Numbers" I prefer to click on "Open Recents" to get a spread sheet I've used recently. Now when I select "Open Recents", I only see "Clear Menu". What happened here? It went away while using Catalina OS and it's still a problem with Big Sur OS.

If you click on the Apple menu (top left) and look at recent items in that menu, are there any items (apps and/or documents) listed there? Any Numbers documents? Or is this just a problem with the recent items menu in Numbers?
If you go to System Preferences/General, near the bottom is how many recent items should be on the list. Try changing it to something else, maybe that will fix it. Just guessing here.
The solution was correct. When I selected "System Preferences", "General", the part about recent files was hidden under the "dock" on my screen. Doh!
"Open Recent" missing on NUMBERS
