@UserExcel 

Insert a new column in the first table, and name it Match, for example.

Enter the following formula in the first data row of that column:

 

=ISNUMBER(MATCH([@[Item Name]],Table3[Item Name],0))

 

where Table3 is the name of the other table. Excel should automatically populate the table column with that formula.
