I want to compare 2 cells containing non numeric data along with identification of differences excluding blank spaces. example

Complete
FALSE​
in above data there are slight changes in wording, using cell 1 = cell 2 will show true and false, but how to identify or highlight quickly the exact difference in words?

If A1 and B1 is your two sentences, this formula will put "**" around whatever words are different in both.

Excel Formula:
=LET(a,TEXTSPLIT(A1,," "),b,TEXTSPLIT(B1,," "),c,ISNA(MATCH(a,b,0)),d,IF(c,"**"&a&"**",a),e,TEXTJOIN(" ",TRUE,d),f,ISNA(MATCH(b,a,0)),g,IF(f,"**"&b&"**",b),h,TEXTJOIN(" ",TRUE,g),HSTACK(e,h))
