I am putting together an excel spreadsheet that has a column of numbers and I'm needing to know if there is away to create a function that will highlight any missing #'s in the order of sequential order?
How do I set a function to notify that there's a gap in the sequential order as listed in the example below.?

Hi Leroy,
As a variant if numbers in column A you may apply conditional formatting rule
=A2<>(A1+1)
to the range starting from A2. That highlights the cells where the value is not sequential number to the value in previous cell.
