What Dataset Comparison Tool does
Dataset Comparison opens two CSV, XLSX, or JSON files in your browser and matches their rows using one key column you choose, or the first column both files share. The result separates added and removed records from rows that changed.
Each changed row shows the full record before and after as JSON, which is easier to review than comparing file checksums or scanning two spreadsheets side by side. The files stay in the browser and the comparison uses no credits.
