Doing some light research for my company on PowerApps -
We are a custom manufacturer - on our items we generate "Design #s". These are an auto-generated.
Does PowerApps have the capability to create an "auto" button that generates a random number?
Hi, I am not sure exactly what you want, but:
1) If you want to generate a random number then use the Rand() function, and this can be associated to an action in PowerApps
https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/function-rand/
2) If you need to generate a new unique ID for a new record in a database, then that is the job of the database and not PowerApps
Please let me know if you need more specific guidance
I was able to use the following site to generate unique PowerApps IDs, You can generate up to 50 at a time of random letters and numbers combinations and you can decide how many characters to use. I found it very useful as I had to create a table containing about 350 records.
I hope this helps:
