Use conditional formatting:

If your data is in column A, select A2 and pull-down:
Format Conditional formatting... Formula Is and enter:
=(A2-A11) and pick a distinctive format


Copy cell A2 and paste/special format down the column.


Any hi-lighted cell is more than one away from the number above it
