Hi,



So I am completely new to Airtable and used to Google Spreadsheet functions and scripts which seems a lot easier suddenly. But I am looking to create a unique ID that sums up per channel.



So we have a base with 2 tables:





  • Videos


  • Channels




Imagine we would have multiple videos per channel, and this video should have an unique ID but per channel. I am looking for a formula to do this, but made a manual table to show how the result should be:





Any idea how I would do this? It is probably fairly simple but somehow I need a push into the proper direction it seems. Thank you

Hi @Bjorn,

Well, you can do a new Autonumber field and add the word video in front of it in the 1st field using & formula.

Hi @Mohamed_Swellam,



Thanks for the reply. I think I understand what you mean, but this would make an videID like “video-1”.


We do need only the number however since this will be used in other scripts

Hi Mohamed, I think refering to the ID field would do the job?


In the first field (Video) just create a formula: IF(VideoID=BLANK(),BLANK(),VideoID)


and you should be good.
