Use Excel to Compare Two Sheets. If you have individual worksheets in an Excel file to compare, you can do this in a few different ways. One is to use formulas to create a third spreadsheet showing all of the differences. Another is through conditional formatting to highlight cells that have changed. If you want to compare two separate Excel files side by side (or two sheets in the same workbook), there is an in-built feature in Excel to do this. It’s the View Side by Side option. This is recommended only when you have a small dataset and manually comparing these files is likely to be less time-consuming and error-prone. To view more than 2 Excel files at a time, open all the workbooks you want to compare, and click the View Side by Side button. The Compare Side by Side dialog box will appear, and you select the files to be displayed together with the active workbook. On the View tab, in the Window group, click View Side by Side. If you have more than two workbooks open, Excel displays the Compare Side by Side dialog box. In this dialog box, under Compare Side by Side with, click the workbook that contains the worksheet that you want to compare with your active worksheet, and then click OK. It takes only seconds to compare different versions of a spreadsheet. An essential tool to fix bugs, work with colleagues, and gain clarity. PerfectXL Compare is a spreadsheet comparison tool that compares spreadsheets and provides users with a detailed overview of all differences between two versions of an Excel spreadsheet.
