Hand it a folder of XLSX, XLSM, CSV or TSV tables and get back one file - rows stacked into a single sheet, or a workbook where each source became its own sheet. Hand it two versions of one table instead and every difference is coloured in.

Fifteen files and no two headers match

Branch exports, monthly reports, a CRM that dumps its data a thousand rows at a time - the pile always arrives as separate files, and the columns are never in the same order twice. Copy and paste gets it done and quietly loses a row somewhere in the middle. Power Query can do the merge, but only once the tables are already shaped alike, and telling you what changed between two versions is something it cannot do at all.

How to use it

1

Add the files

Point it at the files or at the folder holding them. XLSX, XLSM, CSV and TSV are read directly, with no Excel on the machine and no upload anywhere - the tables are opened from your own disk.

2

Merge or compare

Merging writes one sheet with the rows stacked, or a workbook with one sheet per source, columns matched by their headers rather than by position. Comparing takes two versions and marks changed values, added rows, deleted rows and differing formulas.

3

Take the result out

Save the merged table as XLSX or CSV. From a comparison, export an XLSX with the differences shaded into the cells - that is the copy you send to a colleague who does not have this installed.

Benefits

Columns matched by name, not by position

One file has Date, Amount, Client and the next has Client, Date, Amount. They are lined up by header, and a column that appears in only some of the sources still gets a place of its own instead of quietly overwriting a neighbour.

Differences are shown, not listed

Changed cells, new rows and removed rows are coloured in a grid you scroll, so you read the table the way you already read it. A list of cell coordinates tells you where to look; this shows you what changed.

No Excel, no upload, no account

It reads and writes the file formats itself, so it runs on a machine with no Office licence at all. Nothing is sent anywhere, which is what makes it usable on payroll, pricing and client data that must never go through a website.

Why people use it

Tell it which column identifies a row

Pick the key column - order number, employee id, article code - and rows are matched by that instead of by line number. Insert a row at the top of one version and the comparison stays sensible rather than reporting that everything moved.

Ignore what you do not care about

Letter case, stray spaces and formatting can be left out of the comparison, values compared instead of formulas, and a numeric tolerance set so a rounding difference in the last decimal is not reported as a change.

Split a big table back apart

The same engine runs the other way: cut a large sheet into files of N rows, or into one file per value in a chosen column, so each branch or each month gets only its own part.

FAQ

No. XLSX, XLSM, CSV and TSV are read and written directly, so it works on a machine that has never had Office on it - which is very often the whole reason a table is stuck in the first place.
No. Everything is opened from your disk and written back to it. There is no account to create and no server of ours that ever sees a price list, a payroll sheet or a customer name.
The merged file is written with the first rows only, and a comparison shows and exports the first differences it finds. Every option is available, so you can see exactly how your own files behave before deciding anything.
