Still comparing workbooks by eye?

Workbook version reviews should not feel this fragile

Files multiply into final, final-v2 and final-revised, but the reason behind each change stays hidden. One missed cell can change a close, forecast, or client report.

Month-end close

The value matches, but the formula changed

A displayed total can look correct until next month. xlLens compares calculated results and formula source independently.

Budget review

One inserted row makes everything look different

Smart realigns inserted or removed rows and columns so you review the real change while keeping original row numbers.

Audit handoff

You need evidence of exactly what changed

Review values, formatting, structure, names, VBA, connections, and protection in one result, then save a report.

Inside xlLens

Make complex workbook changes easy to scan

Values, formulas, formatting, structure, VBA, and connections use distinct colors and dedicated views. See both the changed location and its cause in one workspace.

Workflow

From two files to a defensible report

  1. 1

    Choose two files

    The native file picker grants access only to the workbooks you select.

  2. 2

    Choose the comparison mode

    Use Smart for most workbooks, Basic for strict address matching, or Table for key-based records.

  3. 3

    Inspect only the differences

    Filter by change type, search the worker-backed index, and jump between original rows.

  4. 4

    Export the evidence

    Create an XLSX or CSV report containing audit hashes, alignment evidence, and app version.

Measured performance

The conditions travel with the number

Measured with generated style-heavy XLSX files. Results vary with formulas, formatting and sheet structure; this is not a competitor speed test.

Questions

Before you compare

Does xlLens upload my workbooks?

No. Parsing, comparison, search, paging, and report generation run locally on your computer.

Do I need Microsoft Excel?

No. xlLens reads supported spreadsheet formats directly and does not automate an installed copy of Excel.

What is the difference between the trial and xlLens?

The trial evaluates the same features for a limited period. Purchasing removes the time limit for the licensed major release.

Is the license a subscription?

No. The license does not expire. It covers the purchased major release and its minor updates; future major upgrades are optional.
