Filter differences found by xlCompare
xlCompare creates a filter for differences found between workbooks/worksheets. In the Difference Explorer all differences
are divided by groups:
- Sheets
- VBA Modules
- VBA Forms
From the other side every Ribbon Button which corresponds to View receives overlay image, bold font and count
of differences shown by this View.

On the Sheet Tab every sheet gets number of differences in the square brackets [...].
And same for the VBA Views:

When comparing Visual Basic Code this is very useful - you see how much changed were found and where - in the Modules, Forms, Class Modules, ...
If button doesn't have bold font and overlay image - There are no differences in this View.
