⚠️There's a newer version (0.1.4) of this package.Take me there.

dataCompareR (version 0.1.1)

Compare Two Data Frames and Summarise the Difference

Description

Easy comparison of two tabular data objects in R. Specifically designed to show differences between two sets of data in a useful way that should make it easier to understand the differences, and if necessary, help you work out how to remedy them. Aims to offer a more useful output than all.equal() when your two data sets do not match, but isn't intended to replace all.equal() as a way to test for equality.
