I have a complete list of employees (Sheet A), and a second list containing
names of people who need to complete some paperwork (Sheet B). I would like
to be able to compare the two lists and add a X to a new column in Sheet A
for each employee who appears on Sheet B. Right now we're trying to do this
manually, and it seems like there ought to be a way to do it through Excel!

Thanks for any help!
