i can use to have these two sheets compared regardless of what row the data
that matches may be?

Thank you.

Not really.

If your data consists of a key column of unique values, then you may be able to
use =vlookup() or =index(match()) to return the values in the second sheet.

Then you could use some other formulas to look at each field to see if they
changed.

You may want to read Debra Dalgleish's notes:
http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html (for =vlookup())
and
http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions03.html (for =index(match()))
