How to do a UNIX-style diff between two versions of an Excel file? One
version is 941K and one is 942K, and I want to know exactly what these
differences are. Thanks!
 
If you are looking just to compare text, then save both files as CSV and use
diff on a unix machine to compare the files! There are unix type tools that
you can install on windows that will run diff.
 
Thanks Joel, I should've thought of the CSV part myself. Regarding
diff tool, I'm using Windows, and am cautious about installing
malware ... can you recommend any particular diff tool? Thanks!
