I'm hoping to get some advice on what functions are best to use or a subroutine to determine if a cell value is one value more (+1) or less (-1) any of the cell values in the row above it.

If true, I simply want to identify it by placing the letter "A" in a cell, else, leave blank. The "A" or blank cells would be in the same row but adjacent to the cells that the subroutine is running to determine whether it is true.

Below is an example of the end result I desire. Rows would be added hourly but I have a backlog of data I need to examine so I was hoping to find a solution with an autofill function or subroutine.

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
I think this is what you want, based on your explanation. Some of my results are different to yours though, e.g G4 in row 2 returns "A"...
=IF(COUNTIF($B2:$F2,B3-1)+COUNTIF($B2:$F2,B3+1),"A","")

Thank You! Your results are correct, my example was incorrect.
I just need to figure out how to put that formula into a subroutine.

That's sounds great. I just can't get the lightbulb to turn on that allows me to see how to do that.

Suggest something like this...

Code:
Sub Test()

Dim LastRow As Long
Dim c As Range, d As Range
Dim TestValue As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For Each c In Range(Cells(3, 2), Cells(LastRow, 6))
    TestValue = c.Value
    For Each d In Range(Cells(c.Row - 1, 2), Cells(c.Row - 1, 6))
        If d = TestValue + 1 Or d = TestValue - 1 Then
            c.Offset(, 6) = "A"
            Exit For
        End If
    Next d
Next c
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

THANK YOU Neil! This helps me wrap my mind around how things need to work in VBA. For some reason I have a difficult time connecting the dots but when I have a specific routine I need and see how it needs to be written my mind absorbs it better than someone giving me a generic routine. Simple ones, no problem but the more complex they become, the faster I find myself lost in the weeds.
