I have a column which predominantly has the formula "=INDIRECT("A"&ROW()-1)+1". There are a small number of cells that don't have this formula, and I want to identify, using conditional formatting, those cells that don't end +1. However, I have been unable to come up with anything that works.

Any suggestions, TIA
