My numbers document suddenly went blank and then crashed. Now when I open the document, all of my data is gone.
How do I get it back?
Mac Book Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Thank you. This did work. Much appreciated.
t Quinn,
I have a similar problem, except that my document went "blank" in the sense that I lost all my data because it opened a version from November 2014. For this ancient version, there is nothing to revert to--even though I had just modified the spreadsheet days ago.
Another version of the same spreadsheet appeared on my screen this morning (I assume due to a restore I attempted) and when I try to open that version, I get the message that I need a newer version of Numbers to open the file. I have Numbers 3.5.2, which I believe is the current version. I e-mailed a copy of the spreadsheet to another Apple user. She said Preview shows it's blank, but the zip file is showing 506 bytes.
I don't use Time Machine because I have Carbonite. I contacted Carbonite about my inability to open up the backup, and after an hour and a half, he said I have a Numbers problem.
I would really appreciate any suggestions, and I appreciate your time.

Hi M,

Perhaps Numbers '09 is trying to open a Numbers 3 document.

Good luck, and Regards,
