Comparing between tables

Hi,

How do i get my excel to compare between tables and come up with a result. For example i have 2 tables,

Table 1

Class A|	Class B|	Class C|	Class D                
James	 		
Alice				
Tim				
Dan			
Sam

Table 2

	Attended
James	Class A
	        Class B
Alice        	Class C
Dan	        Class D
Sam	        Class A
Tim           Class C

How do i make them compare and then come up with a result like

Class A|	Class B|	Class C|	Class D                
James	X 		X
Alice				             X      
Tim	                                     			                             
Dan			                                   X
Sam         X

Easier if you had a workbook attached. I think something like this would work, assuming in Table1 James is in A2 and Class A is in B1:
=if(countifs(First_col_of_Table2,$A2,Second_col_of_table2,B$1)>0,"X","")
