If you were starting in B2, with a value in B1, then the formula in B2 would be:

=B1+1

If you want to actually have values increasing by 1 and no formulas, press and hold the Ctrl key and put the mouse over the fill handle and drag down.

If you want to find the increase of each subsequent number from an original then either of the following will work, where A2 is the first number, and the other numbers are in column also, and formula is copied down, probably starting in B2: =A2/A$2-1 =(A2-A$2)/A$2
