numbers won't export to excel Using MacAir, M2 2022. Monterey 12.5. Exporting Numbers to Excel does not work any longer. (Previously worked OK...now no longer working.) File>Export to>Excel produces a very small Excel file in the target directory. (220kB Numbers exports as a 12kB Excel) The small Excel file is not able to be opened by Excel, receive the following error message: Sorry, we couldn't find /Users/stevemarsh/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Documents/FAC/231030 FAC comments on 23:231030 FAC comments on 23:24 Reserve Study.xlsx. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?

Windows users can't edit my Numbers spreadsheet exported to Excel I exported a Numbers spreadsheet to Excel. A relative on Windows says she cannot edit the file. I also find that I can’t edit the Excel version in Numbers. But I of course can edit the original Numbers file. Is there something to unlock?

Cannot open Numbers file in Excel Suddenly in the last 6 days I can no longer open a Numbers file in Excel. The "Open with Excel" option is missing when right clicking on the Numbers file icon. If I search for Excel app I get an error that Excel thinks the Numbers file is corrupt. This happens on ALL Numbers files. Even if I create a new Numbers file from scratch with just the word test in the first cell and save as Numbers and try to open in Excel it says corrupt. I have rebooted multiple times. I have deleted the Excel cache folder and restarted. I have un-installed both MS Office for Mac and Mac Numbers and downloaded both apps fresh and re-installed. Nothing works. I can open .CSV in both apps no problem. I can open an Excel file in Numbers with no problem. The issue is only happening when trying to open a Numbers file in Excel. I have just spent 1 hour on a call with Microsoft Office support and they cannot identify the issue. I am running Monterey 12.6.2, Numbers 12.2.1 and Excel 16.68. All of these are the latest versions. All three say "software up to date" when I check for updates. As recently as last Friday I could open Numbers files in Excel by right clicking and choosing open in Excel. This issue has started sometime since Friday Dec 16th.
