Numbers is an Apple product. Excel is a Microsoft product. If you still have a licensed copy of Excel, switch back to using that. I've still got Excel in Mac Office 2008 running on my Macbook and it seems fine, so unless you have a specific reason to stick with Numbers, I'd suggest you switch back to the program you're more comfortable with.
Also, the TextEdit Autosave you're talking about is not just a TextEdit thing. It's a general feature of Lion and any programs that support it will auto-save your documents in those programs for you. TextEdit, being actually a standard app in OS X, supports the feature. You can always poke around for a freeware text editor that doesn't use the feature, if you find that an annoying dealbreaker.
