Hi Alexa,

Maybe this,
Say you have two sheets in one file Sheet1 and Sheet2.
Then place this formula in A1 of Sheet3 and drag across
and then down as far as needed.
=IF(Sheet1!A1=Sheet2!A1,"",1)

A one will show wherever there is a difference.

You can adapt the same principle to compare from
workbook to workbook, just adapt the references.

Or you can copy the sheets into the same workbook.

I have a worksheet file (of contacts information) from 1998 and another
from
2006 which are the same size (25kb). I now need to update the data. I
suspect
there's no change in the data between the two versions, just a change
in
the
way I have coded file names, but I need to be sure.

Is there an equivalent in Excel 2007 to Word 2007's "Compare" in the
Review
tab?
