Sheetmatcher lite - compare Excels easily

Hi there!

This Excel template is designed to help you speed up the tedious task of comparing two Excel files.

Why should you use it?

• You'll learn a lot just by exploring how it's built, as it’s created with an educational purpose in mind.
• You’ll save a ton of time compared to doing the task from scratch. How much time? Based on my 15+ years of experience working closely with finance departments (heavy users of Excel), I can confidently say that even Excel-skilled users need at least 20 minutes to achieve what this template delivers instantly. For less experienced users, it can take over an hour.

Why no macros?

I purposely avoided using macros to keep the educational value intact. Instead, I’ve utilized powerful formulas to achieve the goal—such as VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, MATCH, CHOOSECOLS, CONCAT, ARRAYTOTEXT, and many more.

Why Sheetmatcher lite?

This is a simplified Excel version of my online tool, Sheetmatcher. It offers the same core functionality, but the online version outperforms it in every aspect. Be sure to check it out if learning Excel isn’t a priority or if you need more advanced features: Sheetmatcher Website

A "How to" document is also included to explain how the template is built and where to look in Excel to find useful stuff.

Happy learning, and save nerves!
