I use Jim Cone's fine commercial Add-in called XL Companion for this sort of
thing. It's available at

Nadia,

Make a third worksheet, and in cell A1, use the formula

=Sheet1!A1=Sheet2!A1

and copy that formula for as large a range as is used on sheet1 and sheet2. Then find the FALSE
values and they will indicate which cells are different.

HTH,
