    Compare two sheets and highlight/mark differences

    Hello.

    I have two huge excel files, with many rows and columns, they "should" look the same.

    But I need to find out if anything has been added or removed from the second one compared to the first one.

    Which is the easiest way to accomplish this?

    Searched this forum and Google but couldn't find what i was looking for.

    Thanks in advance!
