    Excel formula that identifies the next number in the series.

    Hello ladies and gents,

    I have a rather simple question but I cant get my head round to it. I'm hoping you can help.

    Here is my question.

    Say i have a series of number like below in Cell A1 to A5. In Cell B1, I want excel to tell me what should be next number in the series.. Is there a way of doing this using just formula or it can only be done using VBA?

    Column A
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Best Regards,

    Maybe:

    =MAX(A:A)+1
