# Can Claude compare formulas across two uploaded Excel workbooks?

I have two versions of an Excel workbook with several sheets. The visible values look mostly the same, but I suspect some formulas changed between versions, including formulas that refer to cells on other tabs.

Has Claude been useful for this kind of comparison? I’d like it to point out changed formulas and give the sheet and cell references, rather than just summarize the files. If you’ve tried it, did you need to export the sheets in a particular format to get a dependable comparison?
