Default find similar numbers

Yes there is a formula:

If you have a column of numbers (say column A) and want to know which are
"near" to others:
1. sort the column ascending
2. in B2 enter =ABS(A2-A1) and copy down

Just by looking down column B you can find values that are close to each
other. The correspond to very samll values of B

How do I find similar or "near enough" numbers in a column. Is there a
formula to show these numbers? ( not very well explained I suspect)
