Table transformation - create rows for dates between - power query

Hi guys,

 

Current situation - I have this input table:

11.PNG

 

Desired situation - 

22.PNG

 

So the idea is that power query transforms the input table:

1) gets the product from product column

2) creates the date column, where the first date is [From] and the last is [To] - and between these dates there are consecutive days

3) each unique combination of [product + price + from + to] appends to each other - oucome is the desired table.

 

Do you guys think it is possible to perform that transformation in power query?

It is quite easy if you convert the dates to numbers, add a column with nested lists with all numbers representing the from..to dates,

remove the From/To columns, expand the new column and adjust the data type to date.

 

let
    Source = InputTable,
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"From", Int64.Type}, {"To", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Date", each {[From]..[To]}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"From", "To"}),
    #"Expanded Date" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Date"),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Date",{{"Date", type date}})
in
    #"Changed Type1"
