Simulate monthly payments using List.Dates

Hi Anonymous ,

By my test, you could create a new table and then merge it with table1. However, if you have a lot of data, the method will be complicated. 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wcs0tyMmvTE1V0lHyzc8rycipVAhOzEksqgQKBJckFpUouCSWgGRd81IgzFgdhC4FQ6CMiQEQAGkjA0NLXQNDIIJxDI10jQ1RNRgB5YxNkTVY6BpagjlGBroGprpG5kqxsQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"(blank)" = _t, #"(blank).1" = _t, #"(blank).2" = _t, #"(blank).3" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"(blank)", type text}, {"(blank).1", type text}, {"(blank).2", type text}, {"(blank).3", type text}}),
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Changed Type", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Employee", type text}, {"Monthly Salary", Int64.Type}, {"Start Date", type date}, {"End Date", type date}}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type1", {"Employee", "Monthly Salary"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns"

• Unpivot other columns.

• create a new table manually

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtQ3MtU3MjC0VNIBsg0hzFidaCUjrBKxAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, #"Start Date" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type date}, {"Start Date", type date}}),
    #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Changed Type", {"Start Date"}, Table, {"Value"}, "Table", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    #"Expanded Table" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Table", {"Employee"}, {"Table.Employee"})
in
    #"Expanded Table"

• Merge queries

Tips: If you have a lot of data, the method will be complicated.  I suggest you to calculate Monthly Salary directly without the column of Salary Date.

If you want to calculate the monthly salary with DAX, please post a dummy file that easier to help.
