Default Comparing 2 excel files


Excel 2003 has a Compare Side by Side feature that allows
you to make a visual comparison between two sheets.
The menu item is on the Windows menu.

The commercial Excel add-in "XL Companion" from yours truly
can make a "row" comparison between two sheets and
provide a listing of mismatched (uncommon) rows.

It can also compare (cell by cell) two selections or two entire worksheets.
Providing a listing of common and uncommon items between two single
column lists is another feature.
It will also find and list the rows, on a single sheet, that contain specified items.
And there is more.
A free trial is available from... http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware

Hi, I am a newbie here in the group.
I must compare a lot of similar excel files, but the normal sw of
comparing don't help me.
It's because there's a lot of line addings in the "second" file of the
compare.

I wanna to know if there's some sw that do this, with "intelligence"
as the "WinMerge" do in the normal text file.

Previously thanks to all
