how to import Numbers file into Google

Hi Loren,

I understand you want to import a Numbers file into Google Docs. I'm not familiar with Google Docs, but I did find a support page that explains how to import spreadsheets.

Since I don't see a .numbers file type listed in this support article, you may have to save your Numbers document as an .xls format. You might need to confirm this with the article's author first. But if you need to convert the file, you could use Numbers for iCloud and email an Excel version of the Numbers spreadsheet to yourself.

Numbers for iCloud Help - Send a copy of a spreadsheet in an email message

Send a spreadsheet in an email

1. Do one of the following:

   • In the spreadsheet: Click the Tools button in the toolbar, then choose Send a Copy.

   • In the spreadsheet manager: Select a spreadsheet, click the Settings button in the toolbar, then choose Send a Copy.

     Note: If you’ve uploaded a Numbers ‘08, Numbers ’09, Microsoft Excel, or CSV spreadsheet into Numbers for iCloud, you need to open it in Numbers for iCloud before you can email it.

2. Click a format option: Numbers, PDF, Microsoft Excel, or CSV.

3. Click Email, then type one or more email addresses.

4. Click Send.

Hope that helps ...

Google uses a third-party unzip tool that senses that Pages v5.5.3+ or Numbers v3.5.3+ documents are single-file format (zipped, renamed) documents, and will automatically attempt to unzip them. The same Google software was trained to know that Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx) documents are of similar zipped, renamed design and will not attempt to unzip them.

Export your Numbers documents as Excel .xlsx files, and Google will treat them with respect.
