Hi!


I have an alarm rent business and I am building an ERP with Airtable to manage stock of devices, kits and availability.


One thing I want to do, is to create unique ID reference for each kit (a kit have some devices) and for each device. This reference is a concatenate of words and numbers.


For example, for kits I want to use the version and the number dependent on each version, and when the version change, the autonumber start again in 1. Ex:


Kit Version A

Kit number 0001

Kit ID: A0001


Kit Version A

Kit number 0002

Kit ID 0002




I want to automate this, when I manually change the version, the kit number (autonumber) reset automatically to 0001 again:


Kit Version B

Kit number 0001

Kit ID: B0001


So I have a column to name the version, and have other column to autonumber, but I need to make a formula to restart the autonumber each time that I manually change the version.


Do you think is it possible?


This is the example base:

This is definitely possible, and I created a Show and Tell topic (and example base) demonstrating the setup:
