Do you have more than one app user?

@cesar_salgado You canโ€™t have sequential key column values in AppSheet. See this article for why: help.appsheet.com - Sequential Keys Sequential Keys help.appsheet.com

@Aleksi_AlkioThere are several users

Thenโ€ฆ as Tony replied, it wonโ€™t work.

@cesar_salgado The formula below is how I generate my IDs.

I put it in Initial Value and give it an ISBLANK() Editable_If formula.

Itโ€™s no where near as Random as UNIQUEID(), but it gives me the very useful ID Prefix that I want.

I usually use 2 columns for my Key anyway, giving me a very unique โ€œ_ComputedKeyโ€ which works great for me because when the app strings all my IDs together, I can see that, for example, Photo P574849 came from Job J456778, and Customer C432121 and Invoice I345667.

With this kind of set up, maybe you wouldnโ€™t need sequential numbers. CONCATENATE(โ€œADโ€,RANDBETWEEN(1000000,9999999))
