Hello @hugues​ , the ChangeDetector is typically used to detect changes between two sets of input features. Are you trying to use the ChangeDetector to ensure your 2 excel files are the exact same? What version of FME Workbench are you using? Also, if you're able to share data, workspace, or screenshots relating to the issue, this may help!

 

We have a few articles for ChangeDetection you can take a look at for reference: Updating Databases: Using Change Detection to Set Operation Type. Hope this helps, Kailin.
