    Missing words and numbers

    Hi!

    I have a problem, I recieved a huge list of numbers on my email, and my boss said I have to put them in Microsoft Excel and find out which ones are missing. (list shown here:bit.ly/jflBZ8) File is attached below.

    String contains one word and three numbers e.g. A582, U821,...

    Anyone knows a function for this?

    Thank you!
    Best,

    Re: Missing words and numbers

    Please let us know how the sequence should be. Like whether it is A121,A122......A500, then B121,B122..
    or can we discard the alphabet part and count only the numeric side?
    regards

    Please see the attachment. With Data->Text to columns->Delimited with Comma, I have put the values in seperate cells. Then with Copy->Paste->Special->Values -Transpose copied them to in a single coulmn. In the sheet All Numbers I have given all the values and selecting them all and running the macro MissingOnes I have highlighted the missing values.
