I am just trying to be clear on how to use the formula, so if I have two
separate spreadsheets with numbers and I want to see if the same numbers
appear in both spreadsheets this formula should work? Thanks again for your
assistance.

Use a simple countif, assume you do this in sheet1 and the other list is in
sheet2, insert a new column next to the one in sheet1 assume the list is in A
and the new column is B

=IF(COUNTIF('Sheet2'!$A$1:$A$500,A1)0,"Exists","N on-existant")

copy down the formula
