For laboratories that may engage in frequent changes and modifications to Excel spreadsheets, a special Compare feature in the Cyberlab desktop tool lets users select two workbooks for comparison.
The Compare mode will highlight in colours new information in one workbook compared to another and changed or modified information in one workbook compared to another for easy visual inspection.
This feature is available for both spreadsheet cell contents as well as cell formulas.
Coupled with the revision control function standard in Cyberlab, this allows for determining any changes made in a workbook.
