# Create Spreadsheet (preview)

> Create Spreadsheet activity that creates a new Apple Numbers spreadsheet file in the specified folder.

`UiPath.AppleNumbers.Activities.CreateSpreadsheet`

## Description

Creates a new Apple Numbers spreadsheet file in the specified folder.

This activity creates an empty `.numbers` file in an existing folder and returns it as a resource that you can pass to other Apple Numbers activities. You can optionally name the first sheet and choose how to handle an existing file with the same name.

:::note
This package only runs on macOS systems with Apple Numbers installed.

## Project compatibility

Windows | Cross-platform

## Configuration

You can configure the activity and its properties as follows:

* **Folder path** - The path to the folder where the new spreadsheet file is created. The folder must exist.
* **File name** - The name of the new file without extension, for example, `Report`. The `.numbers` extension is appended automatically — any extension you include here is kept as part of the name, for example `Report.numbers` becomes `Report.numbers.numbers`.

### Properties panel

#### Options
* **First sheet name** - Optional name for the first sheet. Leave empty to keep the default sheet name from Numbers.
* **Conflict resolution** - What to do if a file already exists at the target path. Select one of the following options:
  + **Overwrite** - Deletes the existing file and creates a new one.
  + **Don't Replace** - Throws an exception. This is the default option.
  + **Rename** - Appends a numeric suffix to create a unique file name, for example, `Report 2.numbers`.

#### Output
* **Spreadsheet** - The created spreadsheet file as a resource. Can be passed directly to other Apple Numbers activities.
