Compare two excel files

Post by jamess »

I did not see this issue on the website or in the plugins - I have tried to compare 2 excel files, but after converting to CSV, they do not format in a way that I can easily compare thousands of fields. I just purchased this software and need help making the files easy to view in an Excel-type format. How can I do this?

I'm not sure whether you used a plug-in or compared your CSV files as text but in either case EDPro does not present files in some tabular (Excel-like) way. The files will in the end be compared as two text files, and the ease of reviewing the differences really depends on how similar the files are. In many cases setting appropriate Ignore... options under Options | Compare leads to more readable output.
