I am having a similar problem. MacOS 10.15.7 on a mac mini, and Numbers version 11.1 (7031.0.102). I have one specific numbers spreadsheet file containing valuable information. I have been using it for years without a problem. Just yesterday, Numbers started refusing to open it; says "(filename) can't be opened right now". Time machine has dozens of backups of that file, and Numbers will not open any of them. Strangely, I have many other Numbers files, and they open up just fine. I really need help with this.
