Files don't export as html- text edit instead.

[Adrien Monteleone]

It’s not a Mac problem. It works fine for me on High Sierra, at least. The solution is simple enough though should it not work, just manually add the .html. (the file itself IS HTML, so this will simply tell the OS to use the default app, in this case a browser, to open the file instead of Text Edit) Numbers won’t read an HTML file, but LO Calc can import it via ‘Insert Sheet From File’ and opening in a browser for display and then copy/paste produces the same result. (Numbers can take the copy/paste) But if you’re going to copy/paste anyway, you can just skip the export entirely and copy the report directly.

Regards,
Adrien
