public class CountAccount {
    public static void accountscount(List<Account> accs)
    {
     Decimal CountOfAccount=[Select COUNT() From     Account];
    for(Account a:accs)
    {
       a.AccountCount__c=CountOfAccount+1;
       CountOfAccount=a.AccountCount__c;
    }
       
    }

Please check the below link it will help you to generate th, rd etc for the given number and then you concatenate with the "record" string

Hi SFDC Beginner,

You can create a after trigger on account object. From there you can call your apex method. Inside the apex method, query to get the count of total account record. Get the no of recods in apex method by passing the parameter Trigger.New from trigger to apex method. Add the no of newly added account to current count of record. 

Query all account. Update the custom field Count__c with the new value for all the records.

​Hope this helps.

Hi,

Please check once sample code : 
  
decimal count = 52;
string counter = 'this is the account number' +(count+1);

system.debug('==counter=='+counter);



public class CountAccount {
    public static void accountscount(List<Account> accs)
    {
     Decimal CountOfAccount=[Select COUNT() From     Account];
    for(Account a:accs)
    {
       a.AccountCount__c= 'this is the account number'+(CountOfAccount+1);
       CountOfAccount=a.AccountCount__c;
    }
       
    }

}



Hope this helps you!

@SFDC Beginer I thought you need th, rd like 45th, 23rd at the end of each number but with your later it doesn't look like that. I proposed my solution based on that otherwise getting the later one shouldn't be that hard.
