Comparing worksheets

[rudyeb]

I get updates weekly from one of my customers that list all the parts
we make and when they are due for delivery. I would like to be able
to
download the file and compare it to the previous week to see if there
are any changes in quantity ordered or date due. Is there a way I can
do so and have the changes highlighted in a different text color or
some other means of letting me know what has been changed?

Thank you,

With a helper worksheet/workbook, use a formula like this in cell A1:
='Book1'!A1='Book2'!A1

Copy across/down as needed. Anywhere "FALSE" is displayed, there is a
difference. You could even apply a conditional format so that all the FALSE's
are highlighted and stand out.
