are. Example on the below column #1793675 and 1793682 are not listed. Can you
please advise a formula to check them?

1793674
1793676
1793677
1793678
1793679

In B1 enter:
=IF(A2=A1+1,"","XXX")
and copy down

Non-blanks are where the gaps are.

Find gaps or breaks in a large column
 
One way. In the second to top row of data click format|conditional
format|cell value is|greater than|=$A1+1 and then select a colour (say red)
and click OK.

Click on the format painter and paint this format into all your range of
cells and where there are gaps it will turn red.
