    Hi Anonymous 

     

    1. In Query Editor go to Transform > New Query > New Source > Blank Query,

    2. Go to advanced editor and paste the code and rename the Query1 to ExpandMonths.

    3. When in your staff data table go to Add Column > General > Invoke Custom Function.
    4. Make sure you set everything as on the screenshot below.

    5. this will add new column "ExpandMonths", all you need to do now is click the two arrows an select expand to new rows.

     

    Best Regards,
    Mariusz

Thanks but that's not what I'm looking for. I need to create a date-based table that logs all activity against the individual. The key is to have every staff member represented against every month they are active (time beween employee start date and employee end date).

Yes, that did go through my mind but the sample data doesn't seem to fit that requirement e.g. Janet Bloggs has leave in June and July 19 but has left in April 2018
