I have an .xlsm file type created in EXCEL, will Numbers accept the macros in this file? I have not purchased Numbers yet and would like to know the likelyhood that this may work or fail. I do not do a lot of work with EXCEL or Numbers this is a one off for me. Was not looking to waste my money if it would not work correctly.
Thanks.

I too want to know if Numbers supports macros from Excel. According to this thread it does not.

Frustrating, I know.
Numbers does not support Excel macros. If they are essential for your work then you should use Excel. For what Numbers is it is very good AND, at the same time, it is NOT excel.
Numbers is not Excel, so it can't execute Excel macros, but can you open a *.xlsm file?
At least, in view mode?
The IPad's standard files viewer doesn't open *.xlsm extension

iPad email does open and view XLSM files (I just tried), And iOS Numbers can open the workbook.
Desktop Numbers does not support Excel Vba macros. But it does support Applescript. therfore if it is a fairly simple macro, and you know how to program, you can recreate the functionality in applescript possibly.
iOS numbers does not support ANY automation. So only the data and formulas given.

Thank's for your help!
I didn't try to open a XLSM files with iPad email, I tried to open it with the Dropbox App.
Sorry for having been unclear...
But if iOS Numbers can open this kind of workbooks, that's OK for me.
I just want to view results, I don't pretend execute any macro or edit and save the file.
Does numbers support macros from .xlsm files?
