Calculated Count

Hi,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to have a count similar to the ID column but adding the number 3200.

The reason why I want to do this is because we currently have 3200 records on file, and we do not want to have a mix up when these numbers repeat. 

Can our ID column start at 3201?

    KiewitEmployee the ID column can't start at 3201 unless you create 3200 items fist and then delete them.. But you could have a number column in your SharePoint list. Then when a new item is created in your list use a flow in Power Automate to get the next increment number from another list (which only ever has that 1 item). That increment number could start at 3201. That flow would add the next increment number into the column in the main list and then add 1 to the next increment number in the other list ready for the next item to be created.
