Hi everyone,

I remember there being a formula that could verify if a list of values existed in a column but cannot remember the formula and have been having difficulty finding it online.
Any help would be appreciated. I included an example of what I am looking for below (formula I am looking for would be in the yellow column).

Thank you to anyone who can help!
