Good day everyone,
How do you create an ID from the date, for example:
If today is the 31/05/2022 I would like the ID to be "AE31"
where A represents the year
E represents the 5th month
and 31 is the date
Also, please note that there is a column where the date is entered, so I would like to take that date and create the ID as above
Could someone help me, please and if any other information is needed please feel free to ask me

If the date is in A1:
=CHAR(YEAR(A1)-1957)&CHAR(MONTH(A1)+64)&DAY(A1)

It worked! Thank you so much Andreas!
