Default Indicate missing number in a sequence

Hi Beth

I think you need to change Ragdyer's formula to this if you have a header in
A1and place it in B3, then copy down. You will need to input the first value
in B2 which is 1325.
=IF(A2+1=A2,"",A2+1)

Thank you for your help on this. It is not working. The header is on A1
and
the first data starts from A2. Where do I need to start typing the
formula
(the first formula)?

Thank you,
Beth

Would this work for you?

With your numbers in A1 to A8,
enter this in B2 and copy down:

=IF(A1+1=A2,"",A1+1)
