If you can’t find a spreadsheet in Numbers for iCloud
Spreadsheets you create using Numbers for iCloud appear in the Numbers folder in the spreadsheet manager (and in Recents, if the spreadsheet was opened recently).
If you set up iCloud on your Mac computers, iOS devices, and iPadOS devices, and save your spreadsheets to iCloud Drive, your spreadsheets should also appear in the Numbers folder in the iCloud spreadsheet manager. If you don’t see a spreadsheet, click Browse on the left side of the spreadsheet manager to see if the spreadsheet was saved to a different folder.
If you still can’t find a spreadsheet you saved to iCloud Drive, try the following steps to make sure your computers and devices are set up to sync properly.

Make sure your Mac has macOS X 10.10 or later installed.
Make sure the spreadsheet isn’t in the process of being uploaded. Open Numbers on your Mac, or choose File > Open if Numbers is already open. If the spreadsheet has a small iCloud icon or the word waiting next to it, it’s being uploaded. When the upload process is complete, the spreadsheet should appear in Numbers on your iOS device and in Numbers for iCloud.
Make sure you’re saving the spreadsheet to iCloud Drive. Turn on Numbers in iCloud system preferences, or when you save a spreadsheet choose iCloud Drive as the location. For more information, see the Numbers User Guide for Mac (open Numbers, then choose Help > Numbers Help).
