Try this

Assumptions.
1. Data Starts from Row 2
2. You want results in column c


in cell c2, write

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(B2,A$2:A$11,0)), "", MATCH(B2,A$2:A$11,0))

This will let you know which row of column A has the matching value for the value in column B that is being checked

To check which row of column B has the matching value for the value in column A that is being checked
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(B2,A$2:A$11,0)), "", MATCH(B2,A$2:A$11,0))
