+4I have a Projects Table and a Work Order Table. One project has many Work Orders. I want my work order numbers to be based on the Project ID field from the projects table.
For example, if my project number is 12345, then I want my work orders to be 12345-A or 12345-B.
I know there has to be a way to do this, but I can't figure out the formula. TIA
+24The issue here is how to rank by Record ID#. There is a great video here by The Quickbase Junkie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHU8pB38N2Y
Not tested but the Formula Query (a numeric formula field) to rank by Record ID# would be
var text Query =
"{3.LTE." & ToText([Record ID#]) & "}"
Size(GetRecords($Query))
That should return a count starting at 1 to sequence the work orders. You could use that as a suffix instead of A B or C or else you would have to use a formula to translate from the ranking number to the A B C letter of the alphabet.
