    Lightbulb Creating Unique ID number

    Hi All,

    I'm so close to having a formula work for me but fallen just short at the end:

    I have A Unique ID column which i want to auto populate based on the columns [first 2 letters of category]-[3 numbers in event]-[auto list number starting from 001 and going up]

    With the Code I have now i can get
    DM-001
    DM-001
    DM-001

    Which is correct however I want to add the -001 -002 and so on so it reads
    DM-001-001
    DM-001-002
    DM-001-003

    The formula im using is:
    =UPPER(LEFT(D5,2)&IFERROR(MID(D5,FIND(" ",D5)+1,1), "")&"-"&LEFT(B5,3))
    Any help would be great
