How to make a record unique

  • 1.  How to make a record unique

    Posted 15 days ago
    I have a table with multiple columns in it. Each column may have repeated values but each record (a row) must not be repeated. Is there any way to make this possible ?

    np,
    just make a formula which will concatenate the fields together and mark it as Unique in field properties.

    List("-", [field 1], [Field 2], [field 3])

    note that you make not use lookup or summary fields in that formula.

    np,
    you may not use a lookup field, but you may use the reference field.

    so for example

    ToText([Related Parent])

     would be valid to use in the string.
