Tips: in the above formula, A2 is the cell of the first column that you want to check if it is in another column, and $C$1:$C$11is the column that you want to be compared with.
3. Then select cell B2, and drag the fill handle over to the cells that you need to apply this formula, you will get the following result, TRUE stands for the value in Column A exists in Column C as well, and FALSE indicates the value is not in Column C.
