When you paste your texts for comparison purpose, does diffchecker store and keep those texts?

I have a series of Excel files that I send out to customers. They fill them out and send them back with their info. How do I ensure that the excel files coming back in are the same ones I sent out and don't just share the same title and rows/column names?
The data could be falsified with the same title, row/columns. I ideally need some kind of fingerprint, artifact, or key attached to each excel file that ensures it came from my original data source.
I used to add white characters to headings as one simple trick.
Or I would put in cells odd names combined with dates in rows way below or columns far to the right.
Even inserted a name using insert name. You can also define names with vba and sometimes delete does not completely remove them - used that to hide passwords...
I am wondering if there is a way to paste a list of values (e.g. well ids) into the Spotfire Analyst's (and Web Player's) filter search box? I am new to Spotfire so not sure if that can be achieved through a custom extension or script. Basically this is what I am trying to achieve:
I copy some values from Excel spreadsheet
I open Spotfire Analyst and look for the appropriate filter on the right
I pates the content of my clipboard into the filter’s search box
Custom logic (if that’s possible?) makes sure to find the appropriate results from the filter’s list and selects them automatically
All charts on our page are updated and we see the results from step 4
Please note that the solution needs to work on both the Spotfire Analyst and Web Player.
We work around this by using multi-line input text boxes. Once a user pastes in a multi-line set of text values (separated by space, comma, new line, or whatever) this string is passed to a data function, which creates a table and writes that back out. Then the two tables are related on a common key, which acts as a filter for the original table.
PasteAPIListTable <- data.frame(API = unlist(strsplit(PasteAPIList,PasteAPISeparator)))
I am trying to pull data from website along with hyperlinks but I am just able to get the texts and not the hyperlinks (with text). Is there any way we could pull the table from web in its original format (with hyperlinks). Thank you
I try to write some data to a list column using sharepoint web service. The column is single line of text. The text I want to write into the column is an xml text. For example
But sharepoint did not store it; other plain text seems to work.
Do I need to replace xml tags with some code, for example: > is ">"
I did just that, but still is not working.
What am I doin wrong?
Can someone help me in understanding the Shared Strings in MS Excel? I tried to understand using some blogs but could not get complete idea. Everyone is explaining how to access Shared String using Open XML and where the Shared Strings stored (as sharedStrings.xml). Accessing using API is fine. But,
How to create Shared Strings in Excel. (Creating manually in Excel 2010, not using API)
What is the exact need of Shared Strings?
In which cases i can go for Shared Strings?
I tried following.

Shared strings is basically a space saving mechanism. As for your questions:
A1. You can't manually create shared strings using the Excel user interface. That's because Excel by default always store any text as a shared string.
A2. As mentioned it's a space saving mechanism. Excel 2007/2010/2013 uses the Open XML format, which is basically a bunch of XML files zipped together. It might also be for ease of referencing. You just have to refer to an index, just like you refer to an index of an array of strings. (But XML is inherently verbose, so I suspect it's for space saving purposes).
Let's say you have the text "This is a very long string" in cell A1 of sheet "FirstSheet". Let's say you also have the same text in cell B7 of sheet "SecondSheet". Excel stores "This is a very long text" in the shared strings table as one entry, say index 5. In "FirstSheet" cell A1, the Open XML SDK class Cell will contain just "5" as the CellValue. In "SecondSheet" cell B7, the SDK class Cell will also contain "5".
Basically, the CellValue only holds the index to the shared string table. This is how you save space. The assumption is that text is duplicated within the worksheet as well as across different worksheets.
A3. Go for shared strings if you understand how to make it work. If not, just set the actual text in the Cell class for CellValue (Cell.DataType as CellValues.String instead of CellValues.SharedString).
