Default Find missing sequential numbers

Try something like this:

With your list of values in Cells A1:A10

B1:
=LARGE(ISNA(MATCH(ROW($A$1:INDEX(A:A,MAX(A:A))),$A $1:$A$8,0))*ROW($A$1:INDEX(A:A,MAX(A:A))),ROW())

Note: Commit that array formula by holding down the [Ctrl][Shift] keys and
press [Enter].

Copy B1 and paste it into B2 and down as far as you need.

Does that give you something to work with?
