How about a diff tool to track changes in excel DATA, FORMULAS, and MACROS. Do you know how many business are run with handcrafted excel sheets that are not in source control?

Which is the correct budget model?

Budget.xlsx Budgetv2.xlsx Budget.final.xlsx Budget.v2.final.final.xlsx Budget.final.final.submitted.revised.xlsx
