    Matching items from two lists

    I haven't run functions in Excel in almost 6 years. How do I match up two columns? I have a list of last names in column one and a list in column two. I just need to know if any of the last names in column one are in column two.

    Should be pretty straightforward for all the smart people here...

    Thanks for the quick response!

    It looks like that link is comparing one list. I'm actually looking at two columns. I've attached the simple sheet. I am looking for something like...

    if the value in column A appears in column B, bring back "MATCH", otherwise bring back " ".

    Thanks again for your help!!!!
