    Two excel spreadhseets. Excel 2013 professional has an add-in called spreadsheetcompare.exe which can be ran and will compare the differences between two spreadsheets

    It looks like this.

    I know how to launch the program using excel, I'm just not sure how to get excel to tell the program which files to select and then use the export results button.
