Hi,
I've tried to find a way to create dynamically new columns based on the available values.
My starting point is the following type of table:
| Start Date | Duration | Monthly Amount |
| 01/12/2022 | 1 | 50 |
| 01/20/2022 | 12 | 400 |
| 02/04/2022 | 1 | 60 |
| 02/10/2022 | 6 | 700 |
| 04/15/2022 | 3 | 650 |
| 05/29/2022 | 12 | 300 |
| 03/31/2023 | 5 | 450 |
Base on the years in the data, there should be a monthly column for each year.
Additionally, the Monthly Amount should be spread and populated in each correct, newly created month column.
The outcome should be like this:
| Start Date | Duration | Monthly Amount | Revenue Start Date | Revenue End Date | 22m01 | 22m02 | 22m03 | 22m04 | 22m05 | 22m06 | 22m07 | 22m08 | 22m09 | 22m10 | 22m11 | 22m12 | 23m01 | 23m02 | 23m03 | 23m04 | 23m05 | 23m06 | 23m07 | 23m08 | 23m09 | 23m10 | 23m11 | 23m12 |
| 01/12/2022 | 1 | 50 | 01/01/2022 | 01/31/2022 | 50 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 01/20/2022 | 12 | 400 | 01/01/2022 | 12/31/2022 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 02/04/2022 | 1 | 60 | 02/01/2022 | 02/28/2022 | 0 | 60 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 02/10/2022 | 6 | 700 | 02/01/2022 | 07/31/2022 | 0 | 700 | 700 | 700 | 700 | 700 | 700 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 04/15/2022 | 3 | 650 | 04/01/2022 | 06/30/2022 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 650 | 650 | 650 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 05/29/2022 | 12 | 300 | 05/01/2022 | 04/30/2023 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 03/31/2023 | 5 | 450 | 03/01/2023 | 07/31/2023 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 450 | 450 | 450 | 450 | 450 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
