Spreadsheet Compare performs a cell-by-cell comparison of Worksheets within the same or different Workbooks and then highlights the changes on the sheet, or prepares a new sheet report showing all the changes the program has found.

In the lower-left pane, choose the options you want included in the workbook comparison, such as formulas, cell formatting, or macros. Or, just Select All. On the Home tab, choose Compare Files.
In the Compare Files dialog box, in the Compare row, browse to the earlier version of your workbook. In addition to files saved on your computer or on a network, you can enter a web address to a site where your workbooks are saved. In the Compare Files dialog box, in the To row, browse to the version you want to compare that earlier version against.

The workbook on the left corresponds to the 'Compare' file you chose and the workbook on the right corresponds to the 'To' file. Details appear in a pane below the two grids. Changes are highlighted by color, depending on the kind of change.
Understanding the results. In the side-by-side grid, a worksheet for each file is compared to the worksheet in the other file, beginning with the leftmost worksheet in each. If a worksheet is hidden in a workbook, it's still shown and compared in Spreadsheet Compare. If the cells are too narrow to show the cell contents, click Resize Cells to Fit. Differences are highlighted with a cell fill color or text font color, depending on the type of difference.
For example, cells with 'entered values' (non-formula cells) are formatted with a green fill color in the side-by-side grid, and with a green font in the pane results list. The lower-left pane is a legend that shows what the colors mean. Other ways to work with the comparison results If you want to save your results or analyze them elsewhere, you can export them to an Excel file or copy and paste them into in another program, such as Microsoft Word. There's also an option for getting a high-fidelity look at each worksheet that shows the cell formatting, close to what you'd see it in Excel. You can export the results to an easier to read Excel file. Click Home Export Results.
Click Home Copy Results to Clipboard to copy and paste the results to another program. To show cell formatting from the workbook, click Home Show Workbook Colors. Other reasons to compare workbooks. Say your organization is due to be audited. You need a trail for your critical workbooks that shows the changes month over month or year over year. This trail can help you find and correct mistakes before the auditors find them.
In addition to comparing contents of worksheets, you can use Spreadsheet Compare to check for differences in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code. The results are returned in a window in which you can see the differences side by side.
Hi guys, I've made a couple of example tables to explain my problem (see tables below). I'm struggling with the following: I have two sheets. Sheet T1 and sheet T2.
I want Excel to take the data from column C from sheet T2 and put it into column D of sheet T1 to form sheet T3. So Excel needs to find the data from the matching rows and put them together, without skipping or leaving out rows.
If a row from sheet T2 isn't found in sheet T1 it should be added as a new row (it doesn't matter if it's on the bottom or in alphabetic/ascending order, as long as it's added). If a row from sheet T1 isn't found in sheet T2 value in column D can be empty or 0 as long as the row isn't removed or anything. Hope somebody can help me out. Thank you in advanced.
