    I need to find missing invoice numbers from an unorganized list with non-unique entries.

    Dear Excel Forum

    I have searched for this and found many threads, but do not know how to apply the answers.

    I have a list of invoices that I have entered into an excel document, they are in fields A2:A303, but the list will get longer as I add more invoices.

    My invoices are not in numerical order, and there are non-unique entries of the invoice number.

    Sometimes, since some invoices are paid earlier than others, I can have an invoice number that is 10-15 numbers ahead of the rest. For example

    3001
    3002
    3016
    3004

    I'm afraid I may have accidentally forgotten to enter certain invoices, so I need to somehow create a list of invoices that I have missed out in a new column. Admittedly, the list may show numbers 3005-3016, even though I may have not received payments for them yet.

    Please advise and I will be forever greatful.

    Thank You

    Hi

    One way could be this with your numbers starting in A1.

    First sort the numbers from minimum to maximum.

    Then in B2, put this formula and copy down.

    =IF(A2=A1+1,"OK","Missing Invoice")
