Can I check names in one list agains names in another in excel?

I have a list of names in one column, andanother list of name in a separate
column. How do I cross-reference the names with eachother. What I want to
do is find out if a name in one column is repeated in the other. Is tis
possible?

Use VLOOKUP function

Syntax
VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,range_lookup)

Ex: = VLOOKUP("DI-328", A2:D6, 3, FALSE)
