Find missing entries from a list of sequential numbers and letters in a column?

[ramim]

I have an Excel sheet containing the names of 3000 PCs in

PC-No0001
PC-No0002
PC-No0003
PC-No0004
PC-No0006
PC-No0007

in column C

How can I find easily the missing name in the above example PC-No0005

Thanks

Assuming your list is in column A, enter the formula below and array confirm it with Shift Ctrl Enter, then use the fill handle to copy it down until it returns a blank cell.
