Serialization - Incremement by the number of days passed since last print job

For example:

9/12/2017 = 000

9/13//2017 = 001

9/14//2017 =002

 

Currently, if I was to print a label today (9/12/17) the serial number would be 000

Then say I don't print anything the next day (9/13/2017) but I do print on 9/14/2017. The serial will continue where it left off so I'm left with the following sequence

9/12/2017 = 000

9/13/2017 = no labels printed

9/14/2017 = 001

 

I need Bartender to count the number of days since last print job and increment the serial based off of that. The 3 digit serial code is tied to the date. Is this possible?

 

Thank You

  The serial should only change when the date does. So if 5 days have passed since the last print job, the serial should increment by 5

  That would be VB Script rather than Serial number.
  Try create init date off label and name data source as "INITDATE", then give a start date of the serial.
  On serial text, change data source to VB Script Multiline and place script

  Value = DATEDIFF("d",INITDATE,DATE())

  To apply 3 digit format, you can apply number of characters transform - minimum 3 characters, fill 0 from left, disable warning.
