Find differences between two spreadsheets

Load an old and a new version of an Excel or CSV file, match rows by a key column such as ID or SKU (or by row order), and see added, removed, and changed rows with each cell change highlighted. Export a CSV report to share with your team.

It is ideal for price list updates, inventory reconciliations, payroll checks, and reviewing exports from two different systems.
