how to save the result

[@BlackSwanFinancial]

Great video! However I believe the easiest way to do all this without any formulas is to simple enable the Microsoft Inquire add in within Excel. It will give you a report of all differences: formulas, formatting cell content etc

[@Diop90]

God bless you. We definitely need more people like you on this planet 🙌🏽

[@KenjiExplains]

Haha doing some Excel videos nothing that special XD. Thank you for your kind comment :)

[@vipulagarwal7320]

That 'Spreadsheet Compare' bonus feature was DOPE!!!! Thanks Kenji

[@tdc96]

The Spreadsheet Compare App!! Thank you so much for showing that! I have been looking for something like that for a year and had no idea it was already on my system!!! Awesome!!

[@domy9187]

I've been using ms excel for a while however did not know the 'spreadsheet compare' existed. Thank you!

[@sheewieful]

Mindblown by the bonus feature🤯Thanks Kenji!

[@KenjiExplains]

That's great to hear thanks for watching!!

[@ksumar]

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!

[@KenjiExplains]

Awesome! Thank you for watching :)

[@assanelo8768]

Love the Spreadsheet Compare! It was like finding a hidden treasure!

[@KenjiExplains]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mariahafeez6189]

After searching google and you tube, finally I landed to the right one. Thanks for sharing, keep helping :)

[@xcelurself]

Thank you for sharing these tips. I also love comparing tables with power query and play with the different types of joins.

[@xcelurself]

Either to get unique values in each table, duplicates or else to get the differences

[@KenjiExplains]

Interesting, thank you for sharing :)

[@mmartinez9883]

Where can I learn how to do this? This would help me with my job

[@abubakarrkoroma7491]

Thank you so much... from Sierra Leone West Africa

[@KenjiExplains]

Amazing! Thank you for watching :)

[@Masoom36]

So glad I stayed until the end for the Spreadsheet Compare!!

[@KenjiExplains]

Awesome :)

[@sallyho146]

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

[@extraktAI]

Awesome video Kenji!

[@jamessabadi1302]

Spreadsheet compare. That was gold.

[@lyl3645]

The second method is the best; you can define which header/column should be unique. The first and third methods could cause errors.

[@Saadi_Lyfe]

Loved it... Thank you so much.. I learn so much from you ❤❤

[@mouhamedboukhalfa-o6x]

I appreciate your time and effort for that i thank you from algeria me and my team

[@KenjiExplains]

My pleasure, thank you for watching :)

[@Mixolydian74]

Do both files need to have the same column order to use spreadsheet compare?

[@erikguzik8204]

What is the APP (add in) for the spread sheet compare? not in my version of windows 11? Thanks much

[@debbielaubscher4983]

Brilliant! Thank you Kenji.

[@ddp2049]

Hello The spreadsheet comparison is only available in Microsoft 365 enterprise, not the home addition

[@pietrocantuccini5584]

Which is the first version 'spreadsheet compare' is available??

[@tedmoy]

Here's a suggestion for a video: When analyzing data between 2 data sources (ie: spreadsheets from different sources), somehow if you perform a manual CTRL find, you'll be able to find the data you're looking for, but, not if you ran a XLookUp function - probably because the formatting from individual sources are different. Show us the best practice to make both sources of data the same. I've done copying the data onto a Notepad and pasting it onto a new (3rd) separate Workbook in order to make them the same formatting for both sources. This is extremely tedious.

[@YellowbuIb]

where do I download spreadsheet compare if I don't find it in my desktop. I'm running windows 11 with office 365.

[@ulchhunly8435]

Can you make a video how to copy and paste data without go to hiden row ?

[@InManIsGod]

I can't find the compare spreadsheet tool. How can i get it ?

[@camlex6310]

Super helpful feature!!

[@AravindhanG-k1l]

I don't have that spreadsheet compare tool. where to download that?

[@alexrosen8762]

Very useful tutorial 👌🙏👌

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@motopelamohapi4152]

Thank you, Kenji.

[@KenjiExplains]

Thanks for watching :)

[@zelieusnamirian3519]

but in this case, sheets and rows of order number are identical, what if the order numbers are jumbled, then these methods would not work?

[@rimmasiefert1321]

Thank you❤

[@KenjiExplains]

You're welcome 😊

[@williamarthur4801]

if you just want to see the rows that contain a difference; = FILTER( 'v1'!B2:E19, BYROW( --('v1'!B2:E19 'v2'!B2:E19), LAMBDA(x, SUM(x))))

[@UtkarshKumar-mp2ls]

Great kenji

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you!

[@freeshare-2all]

Thanks you so much

[@ThomasBuehlmann]

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.

[@mohdward9505]

Awesome 👍

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you!

[@willzinner8813]

thanks you sir

[@KenjiExplains]

Thanks for watching

[@asisatan3731]

please share all free excel thanks,

[@ActiveLearningforAll]

Thank you!

[@passiveincomeexplorer3396]

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

[@Tjej-k2p]

But what if I don't have any number on my excel sheet? I have alphanumeric characters, so it didn't work :(

[@freeshare-2all]

F4 key is not okay. How should do?

[@waynez8136]

Cant find the "Spreadsheet Compare" app

[@JohnYoga]

Sorry, didn't completely cover the question: How to compare two spreadsheets. For most times, the rows are not going to be in line between one spreadsheet and the other, the rows will likely be jumbled up. This is the question: How to compare the two spreadsheets?

[@lusciousvisualfeasts]

Hii Kenji can make series on CRM or anyone can tell me who can teach CRM like Kenji i need urgent help 😢

[@manod7100]

Hi sir

[@usmanmohammed5269]

how can i have cracked version of excel 2021?

[@cecilm3720]

A simple VBA comparing cells is much easier.

[@unlocking_potential123]

Definitely gonna go with the "2nd" and the "last" method. 😅😂

[@NITINPATEL-rc1tt]

I have better way to check and reconcile both sheet diff

[@pietrocantuccini5584]

Which is????

[@geekatari4391]

I would have used Power Query. That last method was definitely hidden from me.

[@KenjiExplains]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@rmmm329]

None of these are the best way to compare 2 versions of a table

[@forestdean8064]

It's almost like there are multiple ways to do things

[@pirate185]

So where are your best ways 🚮

[@rmmm329]

@@pirate185 yeah I’ll definitely tell you now 😂 i used to tie out 250,000 row tables when migrating to new ERP systems, and you don’t do it using conditional formatting or if statements

[@PunjabiCowboys]

useless , time waste
