Hi Guys,

I have a requirement where I need auto generated sequence for each row for my Pipeline number

like VA-001  
VA-002 this needs to be auto incremented whenever I keep adding new pipeline.

Is there any way to achieve this ?

Thank you in advance for help.

Regards,  
Dilip

I found this tutorial, [Auto Incrementing Row Number | Loom](https://www.loom.com/share/13166419c13d4e44b961d01be5f2f801?sid=5f479f3d-92e9-4397-92cc-0df0b34f2cd4)

Is this the best way to do it?

Use Case 1: – We need to generate a Part Number, or an Order Number, or an Employee ID. Once the number is generated, it should never change, even if rows are deleted. – The general approach for this use case is to maintain a static counter, use it to craft a suitably formatted ID, and increment it by one every time…
