Hi. I have a table that I would like to make the unique key a formula that concatenates two of the fields within the table. One field (EmployeeNumber) is an integer and the other field (QuotaMonthID) is a number. What syntax can I use to pull those together to make the unique record ID?

Hello @joneslovescaspio, you may try using this:

 

CAST([@field:EmployeeNumber] as VARCHAR) + CAST([@field:QuotaMonthID] as VARCHAR)
 

Hope this helps.

In addition to this, since you want the combined numbers be unique, I think you should also enable the checkbox "Unique" inside your table. Like this one: http://prntscr.com/ml5a9g

Also, since you said that QuotaMonthID is a number, if it's not unique, you should set it to unique value, (you know) just to avoid multiple records. But I assume that it's already unique since it was an ID (Silly me). Just reminding ;):D

Have a great day!
