I have 24500 records and a list of 200 names.

I want to compare the name in one of the 24500 records and look for it within the range of 200 names. If there is a match, then show the cell info from the desired cell

Example

Range of names E1:E3:

Bob Smith
Dave Jones
Barry White

ABCD
1Bob Smithgreen4if(A1 is found in E1:E3 then show B1, else leave blank)
2Jack Morganblue2if(A2 is found in E1:E3 then show B2, else leave blank)
3Barry Whiteorange1if(A3 is found in E1:E3 then show B3, else leave blank)


The result would be:

D1 = green
D2 =
D1 = orange
