Compare Excel, CSV, and TSV Files
Without the Noise

XlsCompareX is a Windows desktop tool for comparing spreadsheet and delimited text files side by side.

Open two files, inspect synchronized previews, jump across differences, and export the visible result set to CSV.

Why XlsCompareX?

Spreadsheet and Delimited File Support

Compare `.xls`, `.xlsx`, `.xlsm`, `.xltx`, `.xltm`, `.csv`, and `.tsv` files from the same interface.

XLSX CSV TSV

Side-by-Side Preview

Review `Source` and `Target` together, select preview sheets independently, and keep both views aligned while you inspect cell changes.

Fast Difference Review

Jump from the `Differences` grid to the matching cell, auto-fit both previews, filter visible results, and export the current list to CSV.

Git Previous Version Compare

Use `Git Prev` to compare a locally modified file against its previous committed version when the file is already tracked by git.

Drag and Drop Workflow

Drop two files at once to populate `Source` and `Target`, or drag a single file directly onto the preview area to replace one side.

Focused Windows Desktop App

Built with .NET and WinForms for a lightweight native workflow without browser overhead or cloud dependency.
