The calculated result in cell F5 also changed, but the more important reason is that in the earlier version its formula was incorrect (it summed only B5:D5, omitting the value for Q4). Because those values changed, the calculated results in the YTD column also changed – cells F2:F4 and E6:F6 have a blue-green fill that means the calculated value changed. In the comparison results, cells E2:E5 in both versions have a green fill that means an entered value has changed. The latest version of the workbook contains the final numbers in the E column for Q4. In the example shown here, results for Q4 in the earlier version weren't final. The lower-left pane is a legend that shows what the colors mean. For example, cells with 'entered values' (non-formula cells) are formatted with a green fill color in the side-by-side grid, and with a green font in the pane results list.

If there are multiple worksheets, they're available by clicking the forward and back buttons on the horizontal scroll bar.

The results of the comparison appear in a two-pane grid. Learn more about how passwords and Spreadsheet Compare work together.
