I have a column with visit dates that will change with each user. I have made another column with all of the holidays for the year. I would like to be able to determine if there are common dates in the columns. If the dates could be identified that would awesome but even if I only get an indication that somewhere in the columns there is a common date it would be helpful.

Thanks all.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

Perhaps VLOOKUP in a separate column - Sample below uses Column B as holidays, and Column A as visit dates.

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$B$6,1,FALSE)),"","Common Date")
