Is there a way to auto populate a cell whenever I enter data in a row?

Is there a way to auto populate a cell whenever I enter data in a row?

For example, let's say I am adding information to columns B and C (no specific order) for row #1, and whenever I provide this information, I would like column A to auto populate with the Study ID (the study ID will be the same for all rows).

Thanks

Add this formula to the "Study ID" column.

It checks if either Name or Description is not blank.

=if(or(not(isblank(Name@row)),not(isblank(Description@row))),"STUDY NUMBER","")

Just to change "study number" by the number you want.

I fyou want both column "Name" and "Description" to be filled before showing the Study number, use this formula:

=if(AND(not(isblank(Name@row)),not(isblank(Description@row))),"STUDY NUMBER","")

Hi @Vane

I hope you're well and safe!

Yes, you could do it with a Formula or through a combination of a Workflow and the Change Cell Action.

Would any of those options work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

@Christian G. Thank you! I used the second formula and it worked perfectly. And thank you @Andrée Starå for the suggestions. :)
