Issues faced - solutions identified - shared with community.

Recently had a custom requirement to auto populate PASSWORD column, while considering each password must be unique and self understood by users.
Requirement was to use the variables unique to each user:
  • NAME
  • PIMARY IDENTIFIER
  • SYSTEM_DATE
and using these variables auto populate a unique password per user.
I used formulas CONCATENATE, LEFT and MID to create the logic.

Hope it may help someone in some way.

IDENTIFIER NAME PASSWORD_GENERATED FORMULA USED
12345 abcd 123ab =CONCATENATE(LEFT(A1,3),LEFT(B1,2))
12346 efgh
1e2f320190429

=CONCATENATE(LEFT(A2,1),LEFT(B2,1),MID(A2,2,1),MID(B2,2,1),
MID(A2,3,1),TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYYMMDD"))
12347 ijlk
12348 mnop
