How to Compare Excel Files Easily
Our tool allows you to quickly and easily compare two Excel or CSV files. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it:
Step 1: Select Your Files
Click "Choose file" for each file you want to compare. You can upload .xlsx, .xls, or .csv files. Make sure both files have similar structure for best results.
Step 2: Configure Options (Optional)
If your files have multiple sheets, select the specific sheet you want to compare using the dropdown menu. You can also exclude specific columns from comparison by entering column names separated by commas.
Step 3: Run the Comparison
Click the "Compare Files" button to start the analysis. Processing is done entirely in your browser, keeping your data secure and private.
Step 4: Review Results
Results are displayed in a color-coded table where you can easily spot differences between files. Highlighted cells show where values differ between the two files.
Tips for Better Results:
• Ensure your files have similar headers
• Clean your data before comparison by removing extra spaces
• For large files, consider breaking them into smaller sections
• Use the column exclusion feature to ignore irrelevant fields like timestamps or unique IDs
