Find a break in sequential number
You might be able to use automatic subtotals.....
Example:
With
A1:A100 containing a list of sequential values, including some breaks in the
sequences, with a column heading in A1 (assuming MyList)
Try this:
Insert a column before Col_A
(column A has moved one column to the right)
A1: GapFlag
A2: FALSE
A3: =IF((B3-B2)1,NOT(A2),A2)
copy A3 down as far as needed
Then, from the Excel main menu:
<data<subtotals
At each change in: GapFlag
Use function: Sum
Add subtotal to: MyList
Click the [OK] button
That will insert a row at each break in the numeric sequence and create a
subtotal for the sequential numbers.
In your situation, you could subtotal on whatever columns you like.
Is that something you can work with?
Post back with any questions.

I have a spreadsheet that gets populated from an Access database. Once it is
in Excel, I want to look at a column that contains sequential numbers. THere
will be breaks in these numbers. I want to be able to put a blank line
between these breaks and then total 2 current columns.
ANy insights would be appreciated.
