Default Comparing one cell to every cell in another column


I have a workbook that imports data from two separate text files. I wan
to find any matches between the two sets of data, but they will not b
in the same order.

IF
Cell in Column 1 (from data import 1) = Any Cell in Column 2 (from dat
import 2)
THEN
Column 3 = "MATCH"

I'd like to do this for every cell in column 1. The lists can up t
1000 rows long.

If anyone out there can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it!

THANKS!
Ale

In C1:

=if(isnumber(match(a1,b:b,0)),"Match","NoMatch")

and drag down.
