Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to reply to my question! I liked the
simplicity of Kyle Bannerjee's command line suggestion, but stumbled over
how to get the "cat" command to work on my Windows machine and couldn't
figure out how to properly implement GnuWin32, so I went with a variation
of Hannah's solution, using this formula in Excel:
=IF(COUNTIF($C:$C, $A2)=0, "No", "Match!")
