    Hi,

    How do you want to verify the difference information?

    You can try to use Conditional Formatting to highlight the different values in table.

    Hi,

    What type of data do you want to compare? Kindly let me know in the comments.

    Here are some ways by which you can compare data-

    1. Conditional Formatting - You can create custom formatting rules to highlight differences between two tables like Duplicate Cells.
    2. VLOOKUP- You can use this function to compare values in one table with values in another.
    3. IF Statements- You can use IF statements to create custom logic for comparing data.
    4. Pivot table "Difference" Feature- Create Pivot Tables for both tables and then you can use this feature to see the difference between both tables.
    5. Cell Comments- You can add cell comments to individual cells to provide notes.

    Best Regards.
