How to output differences between two excel files

ctpiccone

I created a workflow to compare my test excel file with a correct one, and output whether or the records they hold are the same. My idea is to take the correct excel file and my test file, join them, and if there are any differences it will be in either the left or right output of the join tool. Currently, I'm able to see the records that are incorrect, but is there any way for me to find out what fields were different? I have over 100 fields so checking them manually is very time-consuming.
