    Need to find serial #s on a second column

    Hello,

    I wonder if I can trouble members for help.

    I have a spreadsheet that, among other information, it has column A with over 400 rows of serial numbers (one per row) and column B the serial numbers that we have under warranty.

    How can I find which of the serial numbers from column A are amongst the serial numbers of column B?

    I've came across a number of suggestions online but they compare row in column A to same row in column B.

    I need to take a number from column A and compare to all of the ones in column B and report a match.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.

    You could try this:

    =ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1,B:B,0))
