public class SpreadSheetDifference
extends AbstractTransformer

Computes the difference of the numeric cells between two spreadsheets.
The values of the second spreadsheet are subtracted from the first one.
If no 'key' columns are defined, the current order of rows is used for comparison.

Input/output:
- accepts:
adams.data.spreadsheet.SpreadSheet[]
- generates:
adams.data.spreadsheet.SpreadSheet

Valid options are:

-D <int> (property: debugLevel)
    The greater the number the more additional info the scheme may output to 
    the console (0 = off).
    default: 0
    minimum: 0
 

-name <java.lang.String> (property: name)
    The name of the actor.
    default: SpreadSheetDifference
 

-annotation <adams.core.base.BaseText> (property: annotations)
    The annotations to attach to this actor.
    default: 
 

-skip (property: skip)
    If set to true, transformation is skipped and the input token is just forwarded 
    as it is.
 

-stop-flow-on-error (property: stopFlowOnError)
    If set to true, the flow gets stopped in case this actor encounters an error;
     useful for critical actors.
 

-key-columns <adams.core.Range> (property: keyColumns)
    The columns to use as keys for identifying rows in the spreadsheets, if 
    empty the row index is used instead; A range is a comma-separated list of 
    single 1-based indices or sub-ranges of indices ('start-end'); 'inv(...)'
     inverts the range '...'; the following placeholders can be used as well:
     first, second, third, last_2, last_1, last
    default:
