There are a few different ways and without knowing more about your issue, you could use the JOIN tool to join the two sheets by the date column and see what doesn't match up - meaning you can see what was added or deleted or modified.

This is a very rudimentary example.  You can make it more robust and automate it as you need.

Use the JOIN tool and see what comes out.  In this case, the bottom right is showing what doesn't match from the first week.

@prasann  As I say, there are surely other ways to do this - like even with the Summarize tool potentially, but this is just really basic.  You may find a better way from another suggestion.

This is the basic workflow behind this.
