Default excel 2002 functions

I am trying to do a function that will look for and tell me if there is or is
not a duplicate number on a spread sheet.
EX: column B has numbers in accending order.
column F has numbers in accending order. Some of these numbers will
be duplicates of some numbers in column B but not necessarily on the same row.
I want a function in say column J that will tell me if a number in cell F1
is found in any cell in coumn B.
I tried the Logical IF function but that only seemed to work the the numbers
were on the same row. I wrote is as =+IF(B38=F36:F40,"on report","not on
report").

Can anyone help me?
