Hi

This works well for manually creating a reference number however, I would
like to be able to create the unique reference number automatically when
entering a record in the row.

Can this be done?

Thanks

It seems to give the same reference in the next cell down and I have tried
to add a date range into the reference but now it seems to long. I want the
cell to give a reference number only when say the date is added into the row?

Thanks

Then use this formula:

=INT((NOW()-39000)*10^7) and format as an integer.

When the formula calculates, just copy the cell and paste/special/value
where the reference number is needed.
