Logic Based Auto-Number

shira510

We have a request form that generates an auto-number for each request. We want to open up the request form to handle different types of requests that generate a unique Prefix based on which value they select in one of the fields. Has anyone successfully done this? Here's an example:

Form asks if you want to eat a Sandwich, Salad or Soup for lunch?

If "Sandwich" is selected, the request ID is SAND-001

If "Salad" is selected, the request ID is SALAD-002

If "Soup" is selected, the request ID is SOUP-003

We are trying to avoid having multiple request forms for the same type of request but need a way to differentiate the IDs. Open to suggestions!

Formula:

=IF(Lunch@row = "Sandwich", "SAND-" + [Auto Number]@row, IF(Lunch@row = "Salad", "SALAD-" + [Auto Number]@row, IF(Lunch@row = "Soup", "SOUP-" + [Auto Number]@row)))
