How to generate an ID number, incrementing by 1 the last ID number created in previous row?

Nezar Loukili

I have a sheet with already multiple rows created. I have a column with ID numbers for each row. I want to set up an automatic way to generate an ID number for all future rows added.

For exemple, the last row created has an ID number of 2300. How to automatically generate an ID number of 2301 for a new row added?

Hey @Nezar Loukili,

Can you just use the Auto-Numbering column built in to Smartsheet? I think if you add that column then save/refresh the numbers should populate.

Otherwise, you could just use the following formula in the next blank row:

=INT([ID number]10) + 1

(the 10 can be changed to whatever the last row that a number is populated in)
