Finding single value in field column

I'm trying to compare a single base value to all the possible option in a filed (column).

 

For example, I'm trying to identify that 3623 under Field ExpLine is a perfect match with one of the values in the Compare field. If it does not match then I want a result of "No"

To evaluate each row, the easiest way would be to append that value to each row and using an IF statement to test.

 

An example solution is attached.

Hi @henrymk5

 

The append solution will definitely work, but I'd recommend looking into the join option, as having the append could get really slow, depending on your dataset size.
