Have you ever tried to manually compare files? It is pretty difficult, isn’t it? We are not perfect creatures and can miss certain words and make mistakes. When we are dealing with huge amounts of information then use of file search systems is highly recommended.

But have you ever tried to compare figures? This is even more difficult task. If words can be remembered and associated with something, figures are boring. After one hour of such comparison you won’t be able to differentiate 0 from 9.

You may ask: “Who needs to compare figures?” The answer is – millions of people! These are people who work with figures – accountants, economists, financers, sales managers and even secretaries. Figures (i.e. prices and dates) are always changing. It happens every second and the market conditions change as well as global economy.

As a rule pricelists and accounting reports are made in MS Excel. This is a very popular program that makes it possible to save data and process it. However, comparison of Excel files can be very difficult, especially if the file consists of several sheets. What if you have to compare figures expressed in millions of dollars? You do not have the right to make any mistakes!
