I have 2 columns in Excel: the first contains a list of employee names who perform function A, and the second contains a list of employee names who perform function B.

What I want is to identify, in one cell, if there is one employee whose name appears in both the first and second columns. It does not have to show which name(s) appears in both columns, it just needs to identify IF there are any names that appear in both columns.
