Recipe Compare Sheet Tabs

Quick way to spot changes between two months of data or different versions of the same dataset in Google Sheets. Pulls data from both tabs using the gws-sheets integration and runs a comparison to flag what's different. Perfect for monthly reports, budget tracking, or catching data drift between versions. The comparison logic is straightforward but saves you from manually eyeballing two spreadsheets. Works best with structured data where you need to see what rows changed, got added, or disappeared between time periods.
