How to calculate dates using start and end date distribute per month
- 3 years ago
OK, here is a method using Power Query M Code (which I just happened to develop earlier for a similar problem).
Home =>Trnasform data=>Advanced Editor and paste the code into the window that opens (deleting whatever might be there)
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUTLUN9I3MjAyAjONYUy/1HKFyPyibKVYHZgyU5hcXmlODroSkDjQHLhRQIY5jB2Sn52ZD1dljKTKBImNqgooA7fPXB9dUSwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [IncidentID = _t, #"Lost work start" = _t, #"lost work end" = _t, Location = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"IncidentID", Int64.Type}, {"Lost work start", type date}, {"lost work end", type date}, {"Location", type text}}), //Create all months list #"Last Day" = Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()), #"all Dates" = List.Dates( List.Min(#"Changed Type"[Lost work start]), Duration.Days(#"Last Day"-List.Min(#"Changed Type"[Lost work start])) + 1, #duration(1,0,0,0)), #"all MnthYr" = List.Distinct(List.Transform(#"all Dates", each Date.ToText(_,"yyyy-MM"))), //List of Dates for each row #"Days per Month" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Dates List", each let LWD = List.Dates( [Lost work start], Duration.Days(List.Min({[lost work end], #"Last Day"}) - [Lost work start]) + 1, #duration(1,0,0,0)), MnthYr = List.Transform(LWD, each Date.ToText(_,"yyyy-MM")), //Group by MnthYr and count Group = Table.Group(Table.FromColumns({MnthYr} & {LWD}),{"Column1"},{ {"Days in Month", each Table.RowCount(_), Int64.Type}}), Pivot = Table.Pivot(Group,List.Sort(Group[Column1]),"Column1","Days in Month") in Pivot), #"Expanded Dates List" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Days per Month", "Dates List", #"all MnthYr"), #"Sort Month/Year Columns" = let colsToSort = List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(#"Expanded Dates List"),4), #"Sorted Order" = List.Sort(colsToSort), #"Reorder Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Expanded Dates List",#"Sorted Order") in #"Reorder Columns", #"Month To Name" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Sort Month/Year Columns", List.Transform(List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(#"Sort Month/Year Columns"),4), each{_, Date.ToText(Date.From(_),"MMM-yy")})), #"Grouped Rows1" = Table.Group(#"Month To Name", {"Location"}, { //Sum each month {"Sum Each Month", (t)=> Record.FromList( List.Accumulate(List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(t),4),{}, (a,b)=> a & {List.Sum(Table.Column(t,b))}), List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(t),4)) }}), #"Expanded Sum Each Month" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Grouped Rows1", "Sum Each Month", List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(#"Month To Name"),4)), #"Typed" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Sum Each Month", List.Transform(List.RemoveFirstN(Table.ColumnNames(#"Expanded Sum Each Month")), each {_, Int64.Type})) in #"Typed"Results:
This is lifesaver. Thanks a lot! Your rock.
Another undefined scenario is what to happen if there are overlapping dates for different rows of the same incident. As written, a single date will be counted as multiple lost work days if it occurs on separate rows of the same location.

ronrsnfld @You mean below will not work? There will be one incident per mm/dd/yyyy. I was not sure what you meant by overlapping days. Do you mind explaining with a simple example? I am always counting previous month so I think today's date will be always fine. Thanks

1 1/2/2022 1/3/2022 New York 2 1/2/2022 1/4/2022 New York By overlapping days I mean for the same incident and location. In other words, if those two lines referred to the SAME incident, then 1/2/2022 and 1/3/2022 would be overlapping. If that cannot happen in your data set, then there is no issue.
Since your two lines refer to DIFFERENT incidents, then the count of five (5) lost workdays for NY and Jan-2022 is correct.
