i stuck at the situation making receipt number always begin with 1000 without put value 1000 in the sheet at first. how to set first receipt created in the appsheet form its number is always begin with 1000? from your video the expression is working because in the sheet the first row have value 1000. mean the expression is calculating that value from the sheet. how to make receipt number always begin with 1000 from the app itself without insert row value 1000 in the sheet.

Hi sir, Your tutorial is really good. I am learning more from you. You taught us about how to create auto increment serial number column. I have one doubt. Can you give me a solution for the below problem. I have implemented the auto-increment serial number column. Imagine, i have 15 records and the serial number column now ends with the 15. If I am going to create a new record, the serial number for the new column will be 16. At the same time if I delete the 15th row before create the new(16th) row, the new serial number will be 15. So, the auto-increment function works well. My question is, Scenario: if the user delete any middle record like 8th or 9th or 10th among my 15 records. Question 1: when i am going to create a new record, it still the new record's serial number will be 16. But actually i have 14 records only in my database. I think it's wrong. How to fix this? Question 2: Is there any idea to auto change the value of auto-increment serial number column whenever user delete a middle record? That means, if user delete the 8th record, the 9th record's serial number should be 8 and 10 the record's serial number should be 9 and so on. Do you have any idea for this? Once again, thanks for your work. And I am waiting for your valuable solutions. Thanks.

Hi you need to create a table just for serial no. Then use it as reference. Then create an action called add row to another table using the value of this row. Everytime there is new entry it copies the series to another table. If user delete the row in the main table. The series will keep increment

@@JoeTayactac thank you for the reply. I am gonna try this. If you can please make a video for this so, others also can check it out.

[@ThirdWaveLenght]

Hey, thanks for the tutorial. Why don't you basically define Receipt No's initial value as "Max(Payments[Receipt No])+1"? What's the point of creating an extra sheet?

[@JoeTayactac]

Incase you delete the row. You cant use same series
