    Lightbulb Find if items in array A is in Array B

    Kinda like:::
    Array A:
    Jim
    Bill
    George
    Dan
    Ron
    Scott
    Randy

    Array B:
    Bill
    Bob
    Dennis

    Tell me what items in array B are in array A.
    Just True / False would work. I'd even take row numbers..

    Should be simple.. I'm an old hat at Excel. But ...

    If Array A is in column A, and Array B is in column B, in C1, use:

    =MATCH(B1,$A$1:$A$7,0)

    This will return the row number. If you want TRUE/FALSE, you can use:

    =ISNUMBER(MATCH(B1,$A$1:$A$7,0))
