    Of course. The problem is that it's difficult to understand where the
  changes took place (which sheet(s), which cell(s)). I'd like to have a
  list, similar to what diff gives:

--- question.ods
+++ answer.ods
@@-alpha.C1 +alpha.C1
-=SOLVE(Universal.problem->life&&universe&&everything)
+42

   (maybe not exactly that, but something similar). In that case the
  diff tells me that the two spreadsheets differ in sheet alpha, cell C1,
  that the first has a formula
  =SOLVE(Universal.problem->life&&universe&&everything) and the
  second a number 42.

      Thanks,
