After the comparison process is completed a report is generated in the folder that you designated previously when setting the parameters. See Starting the comparison for details.
We advise that you use the tabular report, published in Excel, and not the .CSV format.
Below are examples of how the two file types appear.
The CSV file displays all the results in one sheet.
The Excel format opened in Excel, displays a home page similar to the example below.
The opening sheet displays the report parameters, and a list of all the categories compared in the report. If differences were found a separate sheet is created according to the category and the category in the category list is turned into a link to the sheet. Clicking on the link or the category tab opens that specific sheet.
As you can see from this example only discrepancies are displayed in the report, using a color coded format,. The colors used are:
-
Yellow/Light brown - the source is different from the target.
-
Green - the value is found only in the source.
-
Light blue - the value is found only in the target.
The problem is described in the Discrepancy Type column, followed by the details of the discrepancy
This example displays the report as opened in Excel.
