    Comparing Excel Documents

    How do may I compare two worksheets the way you can compare documents in
    word, so that the differences are highlighted?

    Thanks

    Re: Comparing Excel Documents

    Myrna Larson and Bill Manville have developed a compare that's very nice.

    look for compare.xla

    But the bad news is that this does a cell-by-cell comparison. A1 compares to
    A1, x99 to x99, etc.

    If you insert/delete a row or column, then this won't work very well.

    =======
    Other alternatives that may work depending on what kind of differences you're
    looking for:

    Save each worksheet as a .csv file and use any comparison program you want to
    compare two text files--like MSWord.
