Order Number ID based on current year and Sharepoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 30

Hi, when a user creates a new order, there's a field that should automatically create a unique Order Number ID, with the format:

RMyy-next id number in Sharepoint List for that year

 

So for example by the end of 2022, new orders should have been something like:

RM22-0567

RM22-0568

Then on the 1st of january of this year 2023, they should start being:

RM23-0001

RM23-0002

etc.

 

Is this possible? Could someone please share the formula I need for the Text field?

 

Thank you so much!!!

    @HenryPF ,

    Problem with not testing free-typed code  - needed to add 2000 to the year - please see amended post.

    Hi Warren, thanks for the help.

     

    For some reason I'm getting RM24-0001 instead of 23 (current year 2023).

    Hi @HenryPF ,

    Something like this should do it

    With(
     {
     wNo:
     Split(
     Last(ListName).'Order No ID',
     "-"
     )
     },
     With(
     {
     wYear:
     Value(
     Right(
     First(wNo).Result,
     2
     )
     ),
     wOrder:
     Value(
     Last(wNo).Result
     )
     },
     "RM" & 
     If(
     wYear + 2000 = Year(Today()),
     Text(wYear) & "-" & Text(wOrder + 1, "0000"),
     Text(wYear + 1) & "-" & "0001"
     )
     )
    )
