I have a column (C) that contains a list of values. I have another column (E), that contains another list of values (some of these values can be found within the values in column C.

I need to know which cells in column C contain any of the exact values in Column E.

In the example below, C2 does contain the value from E1 so column D2 would return a statement "True" where D1 and D3 would return false.



C
D (Does C1 Contain any value from column E ?)
E
