Find values from columns of your choice

[purlo]

Hello,
I would like to ask for help. I would need an array formula (I guess) in order to find specific values from one column on another column. That “another” column is not always the same so I need function in formula: selecting the column where you want search to be done
Thank you!

E4
=hlookup(f$3,$b$3:$d$50,row(a1)+1,)

What exactly are you looking for? A "Yes/No" in Col F next to each term in E that appears in (for example) Result 1 column?

Thank you all for your replies.
@ChemistB
I want formula to return TRUE/FALSE results. So are the value from E column in another column that i chose.
For the reference i used this formula: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(D$8:D$1048576,$B$8:$B$69543,1,FALSE)),FALSE,TRUE) the only additional feature I need is: to be able to select where I want search to be done - by choosing a title of the column.

**Array formulas are not entered in the same way as 'standard' formulas. Instead of pressing just ENTER, you first hold down CTRL and SHIFT, and only then press ENTER. If you've done it correctly, you'll notice Excel puts curly brackets {} around the formula (though do not attempt to manually insert these yourself).

It is almost what I need. But it now formula targets just one value $E4, so it finds it in the column only in one place. It should find multiple values if they are in column. It should work similarly as a filter.
