Auto Generate Defect ID

Terry W

I am using SmartSheet to complete UAT testing. I need to create a Defect IDs whenever a status is updated to Defect. This Defect ID needs to be a unique number so it can be tracked by partners. If the status is updated from Defect, the Defect ID needs to remain in the column. How would I accomplish this?

Add an auto number column called number

Then have another column, called defect number, (text/number) with the formula

=IF([Status]@row = "Defect", "Defect " + Number@row, "")

This will give you a defect number, it will stay unique.
