Hello Everyone,

How can I able to highlight the entire column where numbers are not in sequence? There are two cells that are in sequence and I want to highlight the one cell that is out of sequence. Thanks

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Welcome to the MrExcel board!

How can I able to highlight the entire column

I want to highlight the one cell that is out of sequence.
The above two requests seem contradictory. One asks to highlight an entire column. The other asks to highlight one cell.

In your sample it seems that you want to highlight the last entry. Is that the case?
If so, why highlight that value when 13150 also seems to be out of sequence?

Please explain better in words exactly what you are trying to achieve.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I want only to highlight the last entry. As you can see in the sample every two cells are in consecutive order and I want to highlight the one cell that has no other pair of consecutive numbers.
