Finding missing numbers in a sorted sequence
With your "numbers" starting in A1, enter this formula in B1 and fill down...
=IF(VALUE(RIGHT(A1,4)) = VALUE(RIGHT(A2,4))-1,"","Check") The above assumes the actual numbers are the last 4 characters in each "number". Trailing spaces must be removed from the "numbers" before using the formula. -- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA "Liz" wrote in message Hi there We use Excel to create our orders and our order numbers start with TT- (Eg: TT-4056). We are at 7000 entries and I need a way to check that no orders have been left out. How do I highlight any missing numbers in the sequence of order numbers? Eg: TT-4055 TT-4056 TT-4058 TT-4059 I need to know that TT-4057 is missing. Any help appreciated!!! |
