How to check whether I have entered all the necessary numbers in excel?
I have entered numbers 1-1074 in an excel sheet and I want to check whether I have missed any number in that range. How would I be able to check that?

 Do you want to know if any are missing, or which numbers are missing. Finding if any are missing is easy. Returning a list of missing numbers is a little more difficult.

 I assume this is sequential. Did you just do A2=A1+1, then drag it down?

This macro should work even if the entries are not sorted:
Sub DataCheck()
    Dim A As Range, i As Long, msg As String, r As Range
    msg = ""
    Set A = Range("A:A")
    For i = 1 To 1074
        Set r = A.Find(what:=CStr(i), After:=A(1), lookat:=xlWhole)
        If r Is Nothing Then
            msg = msg & vbCrLf & i
        End If
    Next i
    If msg = "" Then
        MsgBox "nothing missing"
    Else
        MsgBox "These are missing:" & msg
    End If
End Sub

If you just need a Yes/No answer, then this formula should return TRUE/FALSE for you:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(COUNTIF(myRange,ROW(INDIRECT("1:1074")))>0))=1074
