Default Comparing a cell value to a range

=COUNTIF(B1:B5,A1)
The formula returns the number of times the value in A1 occurs in B1:B5
So, if you don't need the count, but just TRUE or FALSE then:
=IF(COUNTIF(B1:B5,A1),TRUE,FALSE)

Is there a function to see if the value of a cell appears in a range of
cells?

I want to see if the value of cell A1 appears in any cell B1:B5. In other
words, if my sheet is such:
351 | 219
000 | 183
000 | 281
000 | 351 <-----
000 | 186
... I should get a TRUE return.
