Hello,

I have a column at my SharePoint Online list called IDNr and over there I would like to have a way to increment the number each time I create a new item with a powerapp flow if possible or any other way.

i want not to use the SharePOint ID nr as i delete some items and that will mess up the numbering.

thank you in advance.

Let’s say you have a column called IDNr inside your list.

Add a field for IDNr inside the form used to create new items. Then put this code in the Default property.

First(Sort(Your_List_Name, IDNR, Descending)).IDNr + 1

Then set the Visible property of the field to false so no one can change it.

When the form is submitted the IDNr will increment +1

hello @mdevaney

coming back with this, I tried to implemented at a new list which I already had data and the last "IDNr" value was 220

when I went at the DEFAULT and I added the code: First(Sort(Invoices,IDNr, Descending)).IDNr + 1 then I noticed first at the powerapp forms the below:

but also when I was creating an entry it was starting from value 100.

any idea why?

I also tried and is kind of working with the formula: Last(Invoices.IDNr).IDNr + 1 but that wont work when two users have open the view of the list and is not refreshed at the latest value..

any suggestions?
