Using Apps Script to Create ID Numbers in Google Sheets
Channel: Brian Bennett

I use custom IDs a lot in Google Sheets. Instead of having to come up with an ID each time I need one, I have a simple utility script I can use to do it for me. 

This is a really simple, easy to understand method for generating semi-random string ID numbers using Apps Script.
