Calendar Calculations (aaagghh)...!

[Sentry]

Howdy,

I have a list of contract details for our organisation. Included is the supplier name, description, start and end date, and value of the contract.

I need to analyse the suppliers using a daily contract value basis to determine the shape of their overall contract 'run-off'.

By this I mean, some suppliers have many contracts that start and end at different dates. For Supplier A, I want to be able to graphically show the contract profile (from today going out 2 years) of all their contracts on a daily basis - and compare this to Supplier B. Note that some contracts expire soon, others will go out beyond 2 years. When I compare the shape of the contract run-off between Supplier A and Supplier B, there should be a difference.

Question:

When I have a fact table with key contract data (supplier, value, start date, end date, cost centre), should I create a new table that has the daily contract spend for a date range out for 2+ years. 

Is there a better way to solve this..?

 Appreciated.

HI @Sentry,

It sounds like you want to analysis rolling amount on date axis based on two data fields and group by suppliers.
If this is a case, I'd like to suggest you create a calculate table to expand these date range and mapping to the original table. You can simply create a line chart to analyze records based on new table date range.

Spread revenue across period based on start and end date, slice and dase this using different dates
