Export results to Excel
Last updated: 2026-08-02
Got results you want in a spreadsheet? Download each tab as CSV, then open it in Excel (or Google Sheets).
- Run a comparison on the home tool.
- Open a results tab (for example A only).
- Click Download .csv.
- Open the CSV in Excel. If characters look wrong, use Excel’s import wizard and pick UTF-8.
Why CSV?
The download is one column on purpose—one value per row. That opens cleanly in Excel and is easy to filter or paste elsewhere.
A sensible order
- Check Intersection first if you care about matches.
- Download A only and B only when you need the differences.
- Download Duplicates if repeats might be muddying the results.
Which tab should you download first?
- Intersection — what’s on both sides.
- A only — in the first list, missing from the second.
- B only — in the second list, missing from the first.
- Symmetric difference — everything that’s only on one side, in one file.
Excel import tips
- If characters are garbled, import as UTF-8 in Excel.
- If values split across columns oddly, use the text import wizard and choose comma as the separator.
- Keep the original CSV if you’ll need to check it again later.
Sharing with someone else
- Download “only in A” and “only in B” as separate files if different people will follow up.
- Add the duplicates file if repeats might explain odd gaps.
- Keep one “both sides” file as your matched baseline.
Example
Two ID lists with some overlap. You open A only, download CSV, and get a one-column list of IDs that appear only in the first list.
FAQ
Why is the download one column only?
One value per row is the easiest format to open in Excel, filter, or paste into another sheet.
Can I export all tabs at once?
Not yet—download one tab at a time. Grab only the result you need.
