Hi! Please I seriously need your help in creating a unique ID for members in the form;
SAC-01
SAC-02
SAC-03. In that order
In worksheets(“MEMBER DETAILS”) at row 2 column B
The name Manager for the table is (Mlist)
Please I would want it to happen Automatically
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Try This
VBA Code:
Sub GenerateID()
    Dim i As Integer
    i = 1

    'Loop through the Mlist table
    Do Until IsEmpty(Range("Mlist[ID]"))
        i = i + 1
    Loop

    'Insert the ID in the specified cell
    Worksheets("MEMBER DETAILS").Range("B2").Value = "SAC-" & Format(i, "00")
End Sub

This code assumes that the table "Mlist" has a column named "ID". The code will loop through the "ID" column and find the last used ID, increment it by 1 and insert the new ID in the specified cell "B2" on the "MEMBER DETAILS" worksheet.

You can run the subroutine GenerateID() whenever you want to generate a new ID.

You can also call this subroutine in a button click or any other event that you want to use to generate the ID.

To paste code into a new macro in Excel, follow these steps:

  1. Open Excel and the workbook in which you want to create the macro.
  2. Click on the "Developer" tab in the ribbon. If you don't see the "Developer" tab, you can enable it by going to the "File" menu, then "Options," then "Customize Ribbon" and checking the "Developer" box.
  3. In the "Code" group, click on the "Visual Basic" button to open the Visual Basic Editor.
  4. In the Project window, right-click on Microsoft Excel Object and select "Insert" then "Module"
  5. In the module window, paste your code.
  6. Save the macro by clicking "File" then "Save"
  7. Close the Visual Basic Editor by clicking the "X" on the top right corner
  8. To run the macro, you can either press the keyboard shortcut you assigned earlier or go to the "Developer" tab and click on the "Macros" button to select the macro from the list and click "Run".
