By « dataset » I imagine you mean object like line, polygon and points? Since 
you only talk about x and y, I take for granted that you are talking about 
points.  Do you still have the original .csv file?  That would be useful.

I guess you moved some points around in the .shp file, created a new x and y 
and updated the geometry from the new x and y?  Can you use the same steps and 
update the geometry from the original x and y or did  these disappear when you 
created the shape file?

If you have the original csv, you can use that remake the ordinal file, then, 
in the vector menu, you can substrat (difference I think, I’am not in front of 
a computer)  one vector file from the other.  The difference between both files 
will indicate what changed.  You can also regenerate the new x and y fields 
(like testY and testY) using the field calculator and $x and $y functions.  If 
you don’t have geometries, then those field will come up as empty.

I you are still stuck, we could zoom.  I am in Montreal time.
