    This is really close to what I am trying to achieve. Whereas your solution evenly split the budget amongst the applicable date values, I am trying to generate a normal (or Bell curve) distribution of the project budget value across that timeframe for each project. So in the first month there would be very little budget, same as the last month, in the next more, and more, and at the midway date it should be the mean of the values.
