How to auto generate a unique identifier number with specific format in spreadsheets ?
 I was trying to auto generate a serial number list starting with '0001/12' format, where 0001 stands for serial number and 12 stands for year 2012. I tried with function =0001/12 in A1, the result was a divided number. How could I generate a serial number with above format without division.

following is a solution to a bit more generalized problem
