There are several ways to do this. The easiest would be to add input data tools for the two Excel files and join on all fields. Another way is to use the crew macro "Expect Equal". These will only identify changes in the values though - not changes to formulas. For that, you would need to bring in the xml from Excel and parse to find the formulas first and then compare.
See this for more information on the formulas https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Retain-excel-formula-in-Altery...
