Results update as you type. We’ll show matches, both sides of the difference, every unique item, and any duplicates we found.

Reconcile two inventory exports

Inventory systems often disagree because one export is older, filtered, or sorted differently. Compare the SKU column from each report to make a focused reconciliation queue. Only in A identifies codes absent from the second export; only in B identifies codes that require review in the first. Shared SKUs give you a quick confidence check before you investigate quantities or other record-level fields.

Handle prefixes and leading zeroes with care

SKU formatting is frequently the source of a false mismatch. This page can ignore leading zeroes for numeric codes and lets you add ordered plain-text replacement rules for stable prefixes such as SKU- or WH-. Use those rules only when the formats genuinely represent the same identifier. If letters carry meaning, leave case sensitivity on and inspect a small sample before trusting the final counts.

Use duplicates as a data-quality signal

The duplicate audit keeps membership comparison accurate while making repeated source rows visible. A repeated SKU may be a legitimate variant, an accidental import duplicate, or a sign that the selected column is not the unique identifier. Resolve that question before treating the all-unique export as a clean master list.

Move results back to your workflow

Each result can be copied or exported as TXT, CSV, or XLSX. The working result can also be edited without changing the original exports. For complete workbooks, use the CSV and Excel comparison tool to choose the relevant sheet and column, then use the same review workflow.

Keep the comparison private

Comparable List processes the lists in the browser tab you are using. No account is required and the items are not submitted to a comparison server. Review any export before sharing it, especially when it contains customer, account, or operational information.
