XL Compare

XL Compare is three spreadsheet workflows in one: merge two versions into a single view that overlays their differences, compile cell ranges out of a workbook, or split a dataset into per-value files. Each starts from a guided setup and ends in a clean Excel or ZIP export.

Three workflows, one tool

Three spreadsheet workflows in one: compare, compile, and split.

Workflow 1

Compare files

Merge two versions of a spreadsheet into one view that lays their differences on top of each other, so every changed, added, and removed cell is clear at a glance.

  • Merged view aligned on the key columns you choose
  • Exact, normalized, or fuzzy row matching
  • Export the merged result with every change highlighted
Workflow 2

Compile ranges

Pull specific cell ranges out of a workbook, preview each one, and stitch them into a single clean output.

  • Grab ranges in plain Excel notation (A1:D10)
  • Preview every range before you commit
  • Export combined, or one file per range
Workflow 3

Individual export

Split a dataset into separate files, one per unique value in a column, with rules for what to leave out.

  • One file per unique value in the column you pick
  • Exclude rows or columns before export
  • Download everything as a single ZIP
Best for

Teams handling recurring spreadsheet reconciliation and QA checks.
