Hi, I have two columns with numbers. I need to know what numbers in column A
is the same in column B. Could this be done by highlighting? or some other
way? Thanks for your help!

Insert the following formula in C1 (or whatever row your data in A and
B begins). It will return "In A" if the value in B occurs in A, or
"Not In A" if the value in B doesn't occur in A.

=IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A$5,B1),"In A","Not In A")

Change A$1:A$5 to the range of cells in A that have data.

Thank you, this worked! However I have one last question. Is there a way you
could do this with 3 columns and have it tell you which column it is in and
not in? Thanks!

Starts to get a bit longish ...
but here's one play which executes the logic checks & delivers the results

Data is assumed in cols A to C, from row1 down,
where data in col C is to be checked with that in cols A and B

Copy direct from below n then paste directly into D1's formula bar (it's all
meant in the same cell, broken down for easier clarity on the
checks/sequence):

=
IF(C1="","",
IF(AND(COUNTIF(A:A,C1),COUNTIF(B:B,C1)),"In A & B",
IF(AND(COUNTIF(A:A,C1),NOT(COUNTIF(B:B,C1))),"In A not B",
IF(AND(NOT(COUNTIF(A:A,C1)),COUNTIF(B:B,C1)),"In B not A",
"Not in A nor B"))))

With the formula confirmed in D1,
copy D1 down to the last row of data expected in col C
