Check if value from one dataframe exists in another dataframe

By using merge

s=Df1.merge(Df2,left_on='name',right_on='IDs',how='left')
s.IDs=s.IDs.notnull().astype(int)
s
Out[68]: 
   name  IDs
0  Marc    1
1  Jake    1
2   Sam    0
3  Brad    0

This should do it:

Df1 = Df1.assign(result=Df1['name'].isin(Df2['IDs']).astype(int))

Use isin

Df1.name.isin(Df2.IDs).astype(int)

0    1
1    1
2    0
3    0
Name: name, dtype: int32

---

Show result in data frame

Df1.assign(InDf2=Df1.name.isin(Df2.IDs).astype(int))

   name  InDf2
0  Marc      1
1  Jake      1
2   Sam      0
3  Brad      0

---

In a Series object

pd.Series(Df1.name.isin(Df2.IDs).values.astype(int), Df1.name.values)

Marc    1
Jake    1
Sam     0
Brad    0
dtype: int32
