Default De-identify data

Hello,

I'm new to this group

I've got a "student names" column (about 3000 names) and a "student
comments" column (about 23,000 comments). I would like to replace all names
appearing in "student comments" entries with an X by matching with entries in
"student names" column.

Is there a way of automating this with an Excel function? I'm using Excel
2007 and am a "basic" Excel user.

Thanks in advance
