Calculating Recurring Time Between Start and End Date

Hello all!

 

I'm trying to visualize the total of expected inspections per month.

 

Example data:

Employee Number of Inspections Expected Frequency (days) Date Start Date End
Adam11001/03/202231/08/2022
Brigitte21001/05/202231/10/2022

 

Clarification on the meaning of the data above: Adam needs to do 1 inspection every ten days, starting in 01/03/2022 and ending in 31/08/2022.

 

The result from the table above would be something like this below, but I'm having trouble making it happen in Power Query:

Table_Expected_per_Month

Employee  january february march april may june july august september october november december
Adam 0 0 3 3 3 3 3 3 0 0 0 0
Brigitte 0 0 0 0 6 6 6 6 6 6 0 0

  • Hi,

    So for Adam you want the daes to increment by 10 days starting from March 1, 2022 and go upto August 31, 2022.  How should it be for Brigette - 1 every 5 days?  Please show the expected result in a simple Table format.

      Hello Ashish_Mathur !

      You're correct about Adam! Here is a clarification in text:

      • About Adam: He is expected to do 1 inspection every 10 days starting on March 1, 2022 and ending on August 31, 2022.
      • About Brigitte:  She is expected to do 3 inspections every 10 days starting on May 1, 2022 and ending on October 31, 2022.

       

      Result expected in table format:

      Employee  january february march april may june july august september october november december
      Adam 0 0 3 3 3 3 3 3 0 0 0 0
      Brigitte 0 0 0 0 6 6 6 6 6 6 0 0


      Thank you in advance!
