Numbers file is locked

I was working on a Numbers file and it got locked all of a sudden. It says that my document cannot be reverted. It also says "This document can no longer be used because it's file has become unreadable, so it must be closed.

I tried checking the get info->locked checkbox, and it it unchecked.


If I close the document I will lose everything on there, is there a solution to this? Thanks!

Number does not modify excel files. It imports an excel file into a new document. You must then save the document as a Numbers file. Then you can export the file back to excel if you need it in excel format.
