Default Find missing numbers in a list

You need 3 columns.

Column A you list of numbers with numbers missing
Column B a full list of the numbers i.e. 1 to 999 with no gaps

In C1 enter the formuls

=COUNTIF(A$1:A$5,B$1:B$999) and drag down to the length of column B

Numbers with a 0 against them are missing from List A.
