Hey all,
I've run into a small problem with one of my reports. The data denotes when a kid has in school suspension, for how many days, and the reason. The end result has each day as a row, with the number of kids for each reason present. The end result should look something like this table below.
| Date | Tardiness | Fighting | Bullying |
| 8/2/2024 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| 8/3/2024 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| 8/4/2024 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
| 8/5/2024 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 8/6/2024 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
I get the underlying data by kid and the number of days then have detention. I have 2 tables, one of which is a regular Date table created using CALENDAR() and from a table containing the data by child. The data I have looks something like this table below.
| Name | StartDate | EndDate | Reason |
| Jimmy | 8/1/2024 | 8/7/2024 | Tardiness |
| Tommy | 8/4/2024 | 8/5/2024 | Tardiness |
| Rosie | 8/3/2024 | 8/5/2024 | Fighting |
| Julie | 8/3/2024 | 8/4/2024 | Fighting |
| Bobby | 8/1/2024 | 8/2/2024 | Tardiness |
| Jerry | 8/1/2024 | 8/2/2024 | Bullying |
| Mikey | 8/1/2024 | 8/3/2024 | Bullying |
| Evie | 8/5/2024 | 8/11/2024 | Bullying |
So for example, Tommy has suspension on 8/4/2024 and 8/5/2024, so the suspensions for Tardiness go up by 1 on those days. The only other kid in suspension for Tardiness those days is Jimmy, so there's a 2 for those 2 dates.
My date table looks something like this, just a straight column with dates
| Date |
| 8/2/2024 |
| 8/3/2024 |
| 8/4/2024 |
| 8/5/2024 |
| 8/6/2024 |
I need to find a way to join the date table and suspension table so that each row is a date like the table up top, and so that the counts per suspension match up.
Let me know if more detail is needed regarding this issue. Any and all help is appreciated!
