There’s a spreadsheet program that comes with the Mac Operational System which is called Apple Numbers. Actually, it’s a part of Apple’s iWork suite. This program crates files with data organized into rows and columns and may as well be provided with some graphs, tables, images and formulas. Rows are usually labeled with numbers while columns are labeled using letters. An Individual sell can be determined by a unique combination of both. 

Texts, shapes and media such as photos, videos and music could be also added. The application allows viewing data in a number of ways, for example, formatted table or chart. In a way, these files are similar to files created by the Excel application of the Microsoft Office suite in Windows OS. Files made within the Numbers application get the suffix or extension .numbers after they are saved.

Windows 10 users can run into a problem of not being able to open .numbers file when they, say, get such a file from a Mac user or if they use both operational systems and after creating such a file in Mac OS they have to edit it in Windows. If someone tries to open a file with the .numbers extension in Windows 10, he or she most probably will be presented with a message that such files are not supported and the only way to solve the problem is to convert the file into an Excel file the Windows can handle.

The first way of converting .numbers files into recognizable for the Windows format is via the Numbers tool of the Mac environment. After creating or opening a file with the .numbers suffix one should go to the “File”, then move to “Export to” and after that click “Excel”. For Windows 10 the .xlsx extension should be selected. After saving and transferring the file with this extension it can be opened in the Window10 Operational System.

The second way of getting the same result is by using the iCloud version of the Numbers application. To obtain the opportunity to use it you should have or create Apple ID. After browsing to the www.icloud.com and signing in with your ID it’s necessary to open the iCloud Numbers application. Then using the gear icon at the top and the dropdown menu, the “Upload Spreadsheet” option should be selected. After navigating to the desired file and clicking “Open” you’ll get your file uploaded and can edit it and convert it into a file that Windows will accept. After making sure the file is opened, go to the spanner icon and in the appearing dropdown menu select “Download a copy” and then select Excel format. That’s it.
