Error: Cannot Place this file. No filter found for requested operation

Hi all, could someone please help me. I'm new to adobe on all fronts. I'm trying to create a digital planner. I seen a youtube video of someone placing a excel spreadsheet into a text box on adobe Indesign with the text flow on, allowing each page to show a different date of the year saving time typing it in manually. I am trying to do this myself but I am using 'Numbers' on my macbook. I have copied every step down to a T but using numbers intead however when trying to place the document into the text box I am met with... Error: Cannot Place this file.

I am not amazing at technical terms, so could somebody please explain in the simpilist way. Thank you in advance!
