Darkensses / exceldiff

A diffing tool for xslx and csv files. Let's do some static tests

exceldiff

This tool can help you validate and ensure that the values in an excel file or in a CSV file are as expected, by making a comparison between one file as a source of truth and another with the actual values. The comparison generates an html report that can help you visualize the differences.
