As i said: I've been sent a .numbers file, but can't open it. tried all the things the (useless ) Apple Support suggests. So how do I open it?

In Finder double-click. Or right-click, then choose Open With and choose Numbers.
Or launch Numbers and in the menu go to File > Open and navigate to the file and choose it.

A single click won't open a file. Double clicking should open a file.
Right click and option click do the same thing and also do not open a file unless you then choose "open" or choose "open with" and pick an app from the list.
I assume you already know these things but it is not what you wrote when answering. Or are you new to Macs?
...and what happens when you try to open it? I there an error message or a warning or anything? What does it say?
How are you trying to open it?

Clicked on the file, then right clicked on the file, then control clicked on the file. No error message - the file sat passively doing nothing
OK thanks. Had never heard of Numbers, now find I have it in Applications
