Numbers CSV file used in a data merge for images and text together...

In excel if the header starts with @... then in the column under it has the path and name of an image, you can use this in a data merge in indesign... my question is can numbers do this same function when saved as a csv file?

Linking files to a text cell in numbers Hello, I am trying to create a simple spreadsheet in numbers and need to be able to link to a file on my iCloud driver. In detail, I am trying to create an expense report which may look something like this: Date Expense Name Description Total Receipt My Portion Reimbursed 11/14 Coffee House Coffee w/Tim $10.00 $5.00 No What I would like to do is take a picture of the receipt, save it in my iCloud Drive and then add a link to it in the 'Expense Name' column so that if the receipt needs to be viewed you can just click the link and there it is. On a PC with excel, you would just right click the cell select the link option and then go find your file and hit return. I can't seem to figure this process out on my MACair with Numbers.

When saving excel file in number how to include numbered column I have some old Excel spreadsheets of cemetery records that I'm converting to numbers. The new file has the numbered column of the order of the rows but it is not a true column. I need that numbered column to keep a record of it. Can I convert that numbering to a new column so I can retain that as a way to sort?

Perhaps possible, but it’s hard to say without more details.

Specifically in what format does InDesign expect its data?
