Default Comparing data (conditionally) between two spreadsheets

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with the following scenario.

Spreadsheet A has the following (always in Column A)

NCNTPASH1AP136
CUSNPRSJ1AP11
NJANPRSJ1AP03
JANBVSJ9798RR023



Spreadsheet B has the following (not always in the same columns but
always located next to each other. So, they could be column A and B
one week or column B and C the next.)

NCNTPASH1AP136 Ordered
NJANPRSJ1AP11 In Inventory
NJANPRSJ1AP03 In Inventory
JANPRSJ9798RR001 Deployed

Spreadsheet A's column is not titled, it's simply a list of server
names. Spreadsheet B has column names (a 9 Mb dump from a Remedy
database) and they are always ("CI Name" and "Status").

I'm interested in comparing server names in Spreadsheet A to those
that are in Spreadsheet B but only if they are marked "Deployed." Does
that make sense? I need to know which server names are common to both
spreadsheets and which servers are unique to each. Can someone help me
solve this both by using Excel's built-in functions as well as with a
VB script? I ask this because I genuinely want to understand and learn
this for myself. Thank you so much for any time and consideration you
can afford.
