How to create a Unique Identifier

[baileyblough]

Is there a tool within Alteryx to create a unique identifier for a record? We are running into a issue where we need to tie unique identifiers to each line of data; however, are unable to come up with a way to create one. We have tried concatenating fields into one field to create a unique identifier but our data set is constantly changing and are unable to pull in something unique enough were we will not have duplicates.  

Is there a tool that could create a random set of letters/numbers?

Hi @baileyblough,  

Did youtried record id tool? I think you can use it as identifier.

@baileyblough Here you go (see example). You can utilize the transpose and sigma tool to create a unique hash for every row, it's dynamic in that if you create extra columns it will all end up in the same hash :-).
