Spreadsheet comparison made easy

Excel and version control don’t rhyme. It’s hard to see what changed between versions—until now. Meet PerfectXL Compare: the best way to compare spreadsheets.

Never edit the wrong Excel file again

Compare spreadsheets to serve a variety of needs:

As an experienced user, you know how your model should work, what if it suddenly stops working correctly? PerfectXL quickly highlights differences between your current file and its previous versions. Even if you no longer have the previous version, PerfectXL can provide functionality, like a list of potential issues, for quick resolution.

Models that have been in use for a while often accumulate outdated and irrelevant information, making spreadsheets harder to maintain, less predictable, and slower. PerfectXL clearly maps out which information is used in the file and where it’s located. This allows you to delete unused information and clean up your model effortlessly.

Concentrating for several hours is challenging, and mistakes can happen. After working on a model for extended periods, it’s beneficial to scan the quality of your work. You can use PerfectXL to compare the previous version of your model with the new one and ensure that only necessary changes have been made.

Unclear naming and lack of documentation often lead to questions and issues when changes occur. PerfectXL quickly highlights differences between two versions, ensuring you’re aware of modifications. You can export the report to maintain a record of all developments.

Excel templates are often used as forms, and when you receive them filled out, you want to ensure the template itself hasn’t been altered. A quick check with PerfectXL can instantly show if only data has been changed or if there are alterations to formulas, VBA, or structure.

Sometimes, merging two models is more practical to avoid issues with external references and reduce error susceptibility. PerfectXL offers tools to view both models holistically and perform the task in an organized manner. It also assists in evaluating the final result and correcting any errors.
