Default How do I set up a check that matches names of companies in excel?

Hello,
I have to check about 10000 lines of names to see that they match the asset
ID we are using and our client is using this could take me a couple of hours
and I would prefer that it didn't. Is there some formula I can enter in the
cells next to the two names (a vlookup or something) that will identify any
differences, if so, what is it?
I'd appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you.
