Hi all.

I use the code below to add missing numbers in a sequence.

It works well, but if there is a letter with a number, it fails

EG:
1
2
2A
3
5

Code:
Sub Add_In_Sequence()

  Dim LastRow As Long
Dim gap As Long
Dim i As Long, ii As Long

    Application.Screenupdating = False
    
    With ActiveSheet
    
        LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
        For i = LastRow To 3 Step -1
        
            gap = .Cells(i, "A").Value - .Cells(i - 1, "A").Value
            If gap > 1 Then
            
                .Rows(i).Resize(gap - 1).Insert
            End If
        Next i
        
        LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
        .Cells(3, "A").Value = .Cells(2, "A").Value + 1
        .Cells(2, "A").Resize(2).AutoFill .Cells(2, "A").Resize(LastRow - 1)
    End With
 
End Sub

It fails at this line

Code:
 gap = .Cells(i, "A").Value - .Cells(i - 1, "A").Value

Is there a way to modify this code to make it work with numbers and letters

Regards,

Graham
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
2A is not a missing number, but do you want to delete it because you have a 2 and a 3 in your list ?
