Workflow to determine if DISTINCT values in 1 excel column have COMMON values in another?

Hi all, I am new to Alteryx and am having trouble figuring out what tools to go about a probably very simple thing. What I am trying to do is input an excel file that will flag it if two DISTINCT entries from one column share the SAME entry in another column. For example, I want to build a workflow that will recognize and either 1) return the  conflicts in red  from the input below because in the second column the entry "B" has various source values (type 1 and type 2 and type 4)  in a prior column or 2) add another column that flags a row as a conflict or not

 

Input File: 

SourceTarget
Type 1A
Type 1A
Type 1B
Type 2B
Type 2C
Type 3D
Type 3E
Type 4B

 

Desired Output: 

SourceTarget
Type 1B
Type 2B
Type 4

B

 

OR

 

SourceTargetResult? 
Type 1Anot a conflict
Type 1Anot a conflict
Type 1Bconflict
Type 2Bconflict
Type 2Cnot a conflict
Type 3Dnot a conflict
Type 3Enot a conflict
Type 4Bconflict

 

Any guidance is very appreciated!

A quick one.
Summarize tool has the function to count distinct record, so we can use it to flag out our targets.
