Given 2 excel files with identical fields, how can we find out the
differences between the records??

For example, in file1.xls,
ID Name Amount
1001 N1 A1
1002 N2 A2
1003 N3 A3

in file2.xls,
ID Name Amount
1001 N1 A1
1002 N2 A2
1004 N4 A4

i.e. File1 - File2 will yield record with ID 1004, and File2 - File1 will
yield record with ID 1003?? any operations in Excel can do that??


Please advice. Thanks!!!
