xlCompare: Enable Extended View Mode

What is Extended View mode?

xlCompare displays cell's value and the corresponding value in the same cell. So, you should not look on the other panel to find the corresponding value.

This option works in the combination with Display Difference option. If display difference option is turned OFF - you see the value of the corresponding cell. When you disable this option, xlCompare displays difference between cell's value and the corresponding value.

By default Extended View mode is turned OFF.
