Unique IDs are essential for combining data for reports, visuals and analysis. But what if your data doesn't have a unique ID….no problem just create an automated one using the techniques in this tutorial.

======================================================================================
Hey there, it's John – your friendly Excel companion with over 25 years of handson Excel experience. Today, get ready for an enlightening journey as we explore a clever trick: creating autopopulating unique IDs in Excel. And the cherry on top? No need for Power Query!

Let's kick things off with a strategic move – leveraging the mighty COUNTIF function to ensure our IDs aren't just unique but pristine right from the start. Picture having IDs that not only stand out but also make data management a breeze – that's the foundation for a streamlined process.

Now, let's dive deeper into the art of crafting the initial ID. We're not just linking it to the date; we're adding a touch of personalization by incorporating the first letter of customer names. It's not merely about using letters; we're converting them into numbers and seamlessly embedding them into our ID creation process.

Here's where the magic truly unfolds – we're playing with the LENGTH, ROUND, and MID functions. Think of it as giving our IDs a little makeover, ensuring they remain unique yet practical. No more grappling with duplicates – we're building a system that effortlessly adapts to changes in your data, making your life a whole lot simpler.

Watch closely as I simplify all these functions into a userfriendly formula, creating not just a workflow but a solution that's easy on the eyes. Whether you're dealing with a modest set of rows or a sprawling dataset, this technique is your golden ticket to efficiency, saving you valuable time in the ID generation process.

But hold on – there's more! I've added a failsafe check to ensure your IDs stay unique, even as you introduce new data. It's not just about the basics; it's about utilizing Excel to make your data management journey seamless and stressfree.
