    Hi Sam12,

     

    Please try this code in the advanced query editor after exporting your data and arrange the corresponding fields:

    - First I have field Date and Amount ( from your raw data)

     

    1) Make sure your Date is type Date

    2) Create an index

    3) Find the difference of day(s) between consecutive date

    4) Create a list of date

    5) Expand the list created and removed the unnecessary fields ( index, customs)

     

    let
        Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Amount", Int64.Type}}),
        #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 1, 1),
        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom", each try #"Added Index"[Date]{[Index]}-[Date] otherwise 1),
        #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom",{{"Custom", Int64.Type}}),
        #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "Custom.1", each List.Dates(Date.From([Date]),[Custom],#duration(1,0,0,0))),
        #"Expanded Custom.1" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Custom.1"),
        #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Expanded Custom.1",{"Custom.1", "Amount", "Date", "Index", "Custom"}),
        #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Reordered Columns",{"Custom.1", "Amount"}),
        #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Other Columns",{{"Custom.1", "Date"}})
    in
        #"Renamed Columns"
