Compare two tables by ID

What this can and cannot do

Both tables need the same column names, but their order may differ. Each ID must appear once per table and cannot be blank. The tool reports added records, removed records and each changed field; it does not edit either source. CSV and tab-separated text are supported. For Excel workbooks, copy the cells into the boxes; .xlsx upload and formula comparison are not supported. Only the displayed cell values are compared. Up to 5 MB and 50,000 data rows per table, 100 columns. Keep your source files and review the downloaded change list before acting on it.
