I cannot find Data Compare in Visual Studio 2012. Schema compare is there.
Was it removed? Or is it hidden somewhere?

On the Tools menu, select SQL Server, and then click New Schema Comparison. Alternatively, right-click the TradeDev project in Solution Explorer, and select Schema Compare. The Schema Compare window opens, and Visual Studio automatically assigns it a name such as SqlSchemaCompare1 .
locate the required file in the Solution Explorer window, right-click it and choose Compare Selected File in the context menu; open the required file in Visual Studio, right-click the required document name in the document tab well and in the document's context menu select Compare Current File.
Schema Compare allows you to compare and synchronize scripts folders.
Someone already opened up a ticket on Connect for this. The answer from Microsoft as of 3/13/2012 was that they have not yet implemented the feature in the new SQL Server Data Tools used by Visual Studio 11, but that they plan to add it in the future.
The work around is to use the VS 2010 data compare.
