Find a spreadsheet in Numbers on Mac
You can find recently opened spreadsheets in Numbers, or use Spotlight to search for a spreadsheet by its title or content (including text, author name, media file names, video and image descriptions, comments, and more). Spotlight searches your Mac and email attachments.
Find a spreadsheet
Do one of the following:
Find a recently opened spreadsheet: In Numbers, choose File > Open Recent (from the File menu at the top of your screen), then choose the spreadsheet. Numbers shows the last ten spreadsheets you opened.
Search for a document by its title or content: Click the Spotlight
icon in the menu bar in the top-right corner of your screen, then type what you’re looking for in the search field—results appear as you type. In the search results, double-click the spreadsheet to open it.
To see the spreadsheet’s location on your Mac, select the file, then press and hold the Command key.
To see the path to where the spreadsheet is located on your computer, click the spreadsheet, then press the Command key. To open the spreadsheet, double-click it.
