How to Increase value by 1 number ignore if blank

[Tapesh]

Hi all, 

Im trying to add functionality like auto-incremnet id, how ever i have checked some of the solutions, tried and tested but seems to be like not working for me as i have few blank between two records in my sharepoint list. 

Firstly I tried using

Last('Petty Cash & GL Code').'P_UniqueID ' + 1

which however gave me this result

as there are no records in the last columns hence it returned the value 1. But i want to acheive that it checks the last few records and then see the value and increase the value by 1, or else should ignore the blank and only check the value and then add 1 to it.  Please the sharepoint list photo below which has few blanks but it has 61 as the last entered records.

any helpy by experts or can you please correct me would be really appriciated. 

Thanks 😄  @mdevaney

If I understand you correct, you want to increase records that have a value in P_UniqueID if they are NOT blank.  If that is the case, you can consider the following formula:

First(SortByColumns('Petty Cash & GL Code' , P_UniqueID, Descending).P_UniqueID + 1

 This will sort the columns first by the UniqueID (descending).  This will put empty ones at the bottom of the sort (last) and then take the first value in the sort which will be the highest number...then add 1 to it.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Hi,

Please give a try the following:

If(!IsBlank( WeeklyFrom_Edit.LastSubmit.'Unit Name'), Patch('Petty Cash & GL Code', LookUp('Petty Cash & GL Code', ID = WeeklyFrom_Edit.LastSubmit.ID), { P_UniqueID : First(Sort('Petty Cash & GL Code','P_UniqueID ', Descending)).'P_UniqueID ' +1 }));

This is how i did it today, the patch look to the SharePoint List (My Training) then the Record within using two variables (Title matched selected training Title, and the current users Email matched the assigned to record)

Once it has the record it is adding +1 to the "ReminderSent" column that is a SharePoint Number Column

Then adding Todays date to the "ReminderSentDate" Column that is a Date Column.

It will + 1 everytime in the ReminderSent

ReminderSent:ThisItem.ReminderSent +1,
ReminderSentDate:Today()

//--------- Full patching Code

Patch(
'My Training',
LookUp(
'My Training',
selectedTitle = 'Title' &&
ThisItem.'Assigned To Email' = 'Assigned To Email'
),
{
ReminderSent:ThisItem.ReminderSent +1,
ReminderSentDate:Today()
}
);

//------END
