=RAND()*10000000000

This formula will use the RAND function to generate a random number, then multiplied by a larger number (10000000000) to create unique ID.

Alternatively, you can use the following formula:

=TEXT(NOW(),"YYYYMMDDHHMMSS")

This formula uses the NOW function to create a timestamp, and then uses the TEXT function to format the timestamp into a string in this format "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS". That will create a unique ID based on the current date and time.

You can also use the combination of ROW and COLUMN function to generate unique id.

=ROW()*COLUMN()

The formula will generate unique id based on the row and column number.
