In this video I'm going to show you how to compare two separate excel files and find the differences between them. We'll compare for both separate Excel files and separate worksheet tabs in the same Excel file as well. First, we'll do this using the COUNTIF function, where every time there's a 0 as a result, there's a difference betwen the two worksheets. Second, we'll do this by setting up a new rule with conditional formatting so the different values get highlighted. Thirdly, we'll do this with a complex IF formula so we can see the 2 different answers when they're not matching. Finally, as a bonus, we'll use the spreadsheet compare tool to find the differences.

    Love the conditional formatting one as I didn't know how you would apply that. I normally use = TabA (cellRef) =TabB on cell to return True /False!

    the best way to do this is to create a hashsum across columns in V1 and figure out if it is different to the "corresponding" record in V2.

    Thank you Kenji! I’ve been using if function to compare😊. Is the spreadsheet compare a part of excel I can download or search in my computer? How much are the courses? Can you help me fix my graph? I am using clustered charts with primary axis and secondary axis to stack until sold and unit price for 3 types of products for 4 locations. One of the products secondary axis number ($7.5M) is bigger than primary axis number (7 sold units). So in the chart, the 2nd axis covering/over lapping the primary axis. How do I fix it? I added invisible value column and useing max formula. Added it to both primary and secondary axis. Still doesn’t work. Please help

    I was expecting to see a scenario where rows were not just different but also rearranged. so i was thinking of concatenating all columns in a row then lookup from both sides
