00:00:04
differences between two spreadsheets and
00:00:06
it provides a whole bunch of other
00:00:07
information let's take a
00:00:11
[Music]
00:00:14
look sometimes you need to compare one
00:00:17
spreadsheet to another and see if
00:00:19
there's differences between the two a
00:00:21
great tool to be able to do this is the
00:00:23
inquire add-in you can access it by
00:00:25
going up to file
00:00:27
options
00:00:29
add-ins
00:00:30
and at the bottom
00:00:31
select com add-ins from this list and
00:00:34
hit go
00:00:35
here there's a check mark next to
00:00:37
inquire so check that and hit ok
00:00:40
and now you'll have this inquire tab
00:00:42
available on your excel menu
00:00:44
now what i've done is i've created a
00:00:47
spreadsheet of sample data i made a few
00:00:49
changes and i saved it out as another
00:00:52
modified spreadsheet and i can go up
00:00:54
here to view
00:00:55
and see that i have both of those files
00:00:57
loaded into excel at the same time and i
00:01:00
can switch between them
00:01:02
in order to do a comparison between
00:01:04
those two spreadsheets i can go to the
00:01:06
inquire tab
00:01:07
and click compare files and it brings up
00:01:10
the two files i have loaded in excel and
00:01:12
i can compare one to the other
00:01:14
click this compare button and it brings
00:01:17
up this comparison window
00:01:19
you can see the two spreadsheets right
00:01:21
here side by side
00:01:23
and the green highlights are the areas
00:01:25
where there are changes between those
00:01:27
two spreadsheets
00:01:29
you can scroll down through each and
00:01:30
look at different areas if you need to
00:01:33
but you also have a list right here of
00:01:35
all the cells that have changes and it
00:01:37
shows the value of the old and the new
00:01:40
so you can see the differences when you
00:01:42
click on one it actually brings it up in
00:01:44
the list so you can see where those
00:01:46
values are while you're in this window
00:01:48
you can move these bars around slide
00:01:51
open areas if you want to see things a
00:01:53
little bit better
00:01:55
and if you click on one of these sheets
00:01:57
you can resize the cells to fit you'll
00:02:00
also notice over here there are several
00:02:02
different areas of data that you can
00:02:04
check for so you could turn on and off
00:02:05
these different check box depending on
00:02:07
what you're trying to compare between
00:02:09
the two spreadsheets you also have a few
00:02:11
options up here on the menu showing
00:02:13
details show just formulas you can also
00:02:16
export the results out to an excel
00:02:18
spreadsheet and you can copy the results
00:02:21
to the clipboard so let's try this one
00:02:24
and we'll go ahead and copy and paste
00:02:26
those results into notepad so you can
00:02:28
see what it looks like as you can see it
00:02:30
shows each one of the spreadsheets the
00:02:33
cell location and the old and new values
00:02:36
this could be helpful if you want to
00:02:37
send somebody a note just telling them
00:02:39
here's the values that change from the
00:02:41
old to the new spreadsheet we'll go
00:02:42
ahead and close these windows
00:02:46
and going back to the inquire tab
00:02:49
not only can you compare files but
00:02:51
there's some other options here as well
00:02:53
like the worksheet relationship and as
00:02:55
you can see down here at the bottom i
00:02:57
have a sheet 1 sheet 2 and sheet 3 so if
00:02:59
i look at the relationship it shows a
00:03:01
visual graph
00:03:04
of the main spreadsheet and how it
00:03:06
relates to the individual worksheets
00:03:09
you can also do a comparison of the
00:03:11
actual workbook relationships if you
00:03:13
have a bunch of links between different
00:03:15
sheets
00:03:16
and another wealth of information can be
00:03:18
found by clicking on this workbook
00:03:19
analysis
00:03:22
here you have a list of all the
00:03:23
different categories of workbook data
00:03:26
links
00:03:27
formulas
00:03:30
cells ranges warnings so there's all
00:03:33
kinds of information that you can zero
00:03:35
in on about your spreadsheet
00:03:38
let's take a look at the visible sheets
00:03:39
and it shows sheet one two and three in
00:03:41
there
00:03:44
if you take a look at textual constants
00:03:47
that shows all the data values that have
00:03:49
been entered into the different cells
00:03:52
and the numeric values in their cells as
00:03:54
well so there's tons of information you
00:03:56
can look for in this analysis report to
00:03:59
help you work with different formulas or
00:04:01
different cell locations in your
00:04:02
spreadsheet and again this information
00:04:04
can be exported out to excel so you can
00:04:07
share it with someone else
00:04:10
another nice feature in the inquire tab
00:04:12
is the clean excess cell formatting when
00:04:15
you click this option it asks you if you
00:04:17
want to do the active sheet or all
00:04:19
sheets
00:04:20
i'll do it for the active sheet hit ok
00:04:23
and it asks if you want to save your
00:04:25
clean sheet i'll say yes what that does
00:04:28
is it cleans excess formatting by
00:04:31
removing cells from the worksheet that
00:04:33
are beyond your data element area so if
00:04:36
you do conditional formatting or some
00:04:38
other kind of cell formatting across a
00:04:40
wide area of data but your data only
00:04:43
accesses up to a certain point
00:04:45
everything outside of that where you've
00:04:47
formatted the cells will get cleared out
00:04:49
this can help reduce the amount of data
00:04:51
you have in your file reduce the file
00:04:53
size and the speed of your excel
00:04:55
worksheet as it does calculations
00:04:57
there's also an option here for workbook
00:04:59
passwords and that brings up a list of
00:05:02
passwords for your spreadsheets that you
00:05:04
want to analyze using the inquire tab
00:05:07
what you can do here is you can add any
00:05:09
password that you've set on a particular
00:05:12
spreadsheet file and when the inquire
00:05:14
tab tries to open that for comparing
00:05:16
files or other functions over here on
00:05:18
the menu it will use this password to
00:05:20
open those files the nice thing is this
00:05:22
data is stored and encrypted so nobody
00:05:24
can have access to it other than you
00:05:28
the inquire add-in is not available in
00:05:30
every version of excel but it goes back
00:05:32
quite a while so if we come back into
00:05:34
options add-ins and go down to com
00:05:36
add-ins hit go
00:05:38
you'll see this inquire checkbox here if
00:05:41
you have a valid version of excel that
00:05:44
contains that add-in it works in 2013
00:05:47

00:05:53
excel 2016 or excel 2013 you'll be able
00:05:57

00:05:59
so if you're in need of doing some
00:06:01

00:06:05
