Use This Formula in column C

=Vlookup(A:A,B:B,1,False).

If company Name Appears in Column C Means the company Exist in column B and if #N/A Appears that mean this company name is not in Column B.

I think its too exact. Although the companys name is the same the addition of full-stops in col b has to be taken into account ?

A B C
CNA Group Pte Ltd CNA Group Pte. Ltd. CNA Group Pte. Ltd.
