Default How do I find the next higher number in a sequence?

Not really, but thank you for the response. That returns the highest value
in the range +1, but not the NEXT highest value, which is what I need. In
other words, if A1=1, A2=5, and A3=7 I'm looking for the value in A2.

If I understand what you're asking, does this work for you:

=MAX(A:A)+1

This should be easy, but I'm stumped (relatively new user). I have a
column
of sequential numbers (except that the last numbers are 0) and I want to
select the next highest number in that range.
