Hello,
My colleagues and I use Office Professional Plus 2021 which comes with an add-in with an app called Spreadsheet Compare that compares two Excel books and shows differences in each cell. Apparently, it has an option that enables to detect "Sysgen names" and "Sysgen names Error" along with entered values. What are the "Sysgen names" and "Sysgen names Error"? Could you provide me with examples of what sort of differences it can detect?
I have done some research online and also consulted a Microsoft 365 customer service branch in my country. None of these helped.
Cheers,
Wataru

For these "System Generated Names" options, I have tested tables, Names, and macros, but nothing has been found so far.
If there are updates later, I will add them in time.
Thank you for your understanding.
