Hello Jake,

Thanks for the answer. Awesome, such a short time. I used the below function and it seemed to work:

"CAMGMT15" + str( !FID!).zfill(6)

The trick seems to be zfill. And if I add too many letters in the first string say "CAMMGMTSQ15" and set the zfill value at 8, I am getting error. Obviously the 15 length I set for this field is exceeded.

Hi D,

You could use the following expression:

"CAMGMT" + str(1500000000 + !FID!)
