How to compare data in Excel files and find differences between Excel worksheets! Have you heard people say, "Just bump that file against this one" or "Bump those files together?" Well, there are many ways we can do this in Excel. In this video, I'll show you three real-life examples, including: How to find missing data between two Excel files using XLOOKUP; How to find differences between two Excel reports using IF Formulas and Conditional Formatting; and How to detect duplicates in your data using Excel's built-in highlight duplicates feature.

First, we'll use XLOOKUP to find which employees are missing work assignments in our HR system. Second, we'll use Conditional Formatting and formulas to highlight employee data changes on a new HR report compared to an older report. Third, we will detect duplicate job codes that were created when we removed a leading character from our job code.
