Is there any way of comparing Excel sheets? I want to compare similar sheets prepared on two computers and have any differences highlighted in some way. I know this can be done in text files, but I can't see how it is done in Excel.

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Try the following:

Sub CheckWS()
Dim Sheet1rng, Sheet2rng As Range
Set Sheet1rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange
Set Sheet2rng = Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange
For cell = 1 To Sheet1rng.Cells.Count
If Sheet1rng(cell) <> Worksheets("Sheet2").Range(Sheet1rng(cell).Address) Then Sheet1rng(cell).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Next cell
For cell = 1 To Sheet2rng.Cells.Count
If Sheet2rng(cell) <> Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Sheet2rng(cell).Address) Then Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Sheet2rng(cell).Address).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Next cell
End Sub

It will highlight in red all the cells on Sheet1 that are not equal to cells on Sheet2.
