SheetDiff

Someone sent you final_v7.xlsx. What changed since v6? SheetDiff compares two sheets and shows you exactly — highlighted in place, summarised in counts.

The problem

"Can you check what they changed?"

Two versions of the same sheet, hundreds of rows, and your only tools are squinting and scrolling. Miss one edited price or one deleted row and the mistake travels into the report, the invoice, the board deck.

SheetDiff does the squinting for you. Pick two sheets, click Compare, and every difference is highlighted on a copy — added rows, removed rows, changed cells — with honest counts at the top so you know the size of the damage before you dive in.

FAQ

Does it modify my original sheets?

No. Highlights are written to a copy, and the Pro difference report goes to a new sheet. Your originals stay untouched.

What if rows were inserted or deleted between versions?

That's exactly what the Pro key-column compare is for: rows are matched by a key (like an ID or name) instead of position, so an inserted row doesn't make everything below it look "changed".

Does my data leave Excel?

No. Both sheets are read and compared locally in your Excel session. No uploads, no analytics. See the privacy policy.
