All the Sesame OneSheets are terrific, Thanks. Smiley

You keep giving us great options to accomplish similar tasks and unfortunately some of us do not have enough experience or knowledge to know what method to employ. So maybe we can pick the brains of the more experienced programmers.

Can you give us (once again) the pros and cons of using the different methods shown in the OneSheets to assign next number?

What method is best for what types of uses?

What is the downside to using one versus the other?

Thank you

The Global Values method is going to be MUCH faster and is not subject to lookup errors. It works in Preview mode.

The @XLookupR method will guarantee that you get the next highest number without having to worry about bookkeeping, imported records or factors other than your programming that may change what the "next" number should be.
