How to identify when similar records appear in two sets of data

D

dr_elb_99

I have a complete list of employees (Sheet A), and a second list containing
names of people who need to complete some paperwork (Sheet B). I would like
to be able to compare the two lists and add a X to a new column in Sheet A
for each employee who appears on Sheet B. Right now we're trying to do this
manually, and it seems like there ought to be a way to do it through Excel!

Thanks for any help!

Assume lists are in A2 down in both sheets named as: A, B
In sheet: A,
Put in B2: =IF(COUNTIF(B!A:A,A2),"x","")
Copy down
