Yes, there are several easy ways to identify and locate missing numbers sequence in Excel 2007, Excel 2010, and Excel 2013 quickly and conveniently.

Identify missing numbers sequence with IF formula
As we all known, most of sequence numbers are with fixed increment of 1, such as 1, 2, 3, …, N. Therefore, if you can identify the number is not less 1 than its following number, there is a missing number.
We will show you the tutorials with an example as following screenshot shows:
1. In a blank cell, enter the formula of =IF(A3-A2=1,"","Missing"), and press the Enter key. In this case, we enter the formula in Cell B2.
If there is no missing numbers, this formula will return nothing; if missing numbers exist, it will return the text of "Missing" in active cell.
2. Select the cell B2 and drag the fill handle over the range of cells that you want to contain this formula. Now it identifies the missing numbers with the text of "Missing" in corresponding cells of Column B. See the following screenshot:
Identify missing numbers sequence with an array formula
Sometimes it requires not only identifying missing numbers sequence, but also listing missing numbers too. You can deal it with following steps:
1. in the adjacent cell, please enter the formula = SMALL(IF(ISNA(MATCH(ROW(A$1:A$30),A$1:A$30,0)),ROW(A$1:A$30)),ROW(A1))
A1:A30 = range of numbers, the sequence to check against is from 1 to 30
2. Press the Ctrl + Shift + Enter Keys together to finish the formula. Copy down the formula until you get #NUM! errors meaning all missing numbers have been listed. See screenshot:
Identify missing numbers sequence with Kutools for Excel quickly
The above methods only can identify the missing pure number sequence, if you have the sequence such as AA-1001-BB, AA-1002-BB, they may not work successfully. But, don't worry, Kutools for Excel’s powerful feature – Find Missing Sequence Number can help you quickly identify the missing sequence.

· 2 years agoI have a list and this has been extremely helpful. I am trying to list the existing numbers in a sequence and then skip the missing (ext. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 to show as 1 - 3, 5, 7). Is this possible to formulate?

· 4 years agoThats a beautiful post however the VBA macro code has a serious error, when you give it start and end number, it misses many randomly and thus the missing number list is incorrect. For example : in 1 to 100, I found 67 is not generated hence the missing number list never list 67 even if its not there.
Any idea how to fix it ? -

· 4 years agoHi, After using the missing formula I am able to find how many values are missing from my data. However when I try to find what exact values (numbers) are missing its giving me an error. I have more than 7700 rows of data missing. Now these values missing are from multiple cheque book and each cheque book has 50 leafs. These 7700 are the missing leafs and missing numbers are in no order. By no order I mean 1st cheque or 2nd or 5th 35th 48th number anything could be missing. Plus I cannot even define a range as in case above. What should I do, please advice.

· 5 years ago"You can find out the missing number in array by following algorithm:
/* getMissingNumber takes array and size of array as arguments*/
int getMissingNumber (int arr[], int num)

int x1 = a[0];

· 5 years agoI tried the VBA code, and it doesn't work for dates. By that I mean if the range of data I'm using to determine for missing values is in the format: dd/mm/yyyy as opposed to a single integer. Is there an alteration to the VBA code that allows for the same process to be carried out?
I used the =IF function and that works fine, but I'd be keen to get it working with the macros as well. -

· 5 years agoGreat VBA code! Thank you very much for it.
As I have no idea about how to create a VBA code, could you please let me know if there is any chance to adapt this code to my needs as follows:
1. the selected range to be by default (e.g. $C$2:$C$5000);
2. the new worksheet to have only the column with the missing numbers (and without "missing values" header);
3. to be able to add exceptions (e.g. numbers 4550432, 4552357, etc) that will not displayed in the new worksheet;
4. if some missing numbers are subsequently added in the original worksheet, these numbers to be automatically erased from the new worksheet, without running again the macro;
5. when I run again the macro, to create the same worksheet, with a particularly name.
Thank you so much in advance!-

It is working fine sir,

· 6 years ago1. VB script is not working as the same returned error as "With WS.Sort" as reported earlier by Mr.Reddy.
2. The formula =SMALL is working for series starting from 1 and NOT for series starting from say 201 to 535. Then this formula is returning all missing nos. starting from 1 whereas ideally we want the missing nos. within the range from 201 to 535. -
