Transform date range to period range

Hello exprerts

 

My datasource is a s following:

 

Date fromDate toShare
01.01.202015.03.202070
16.03.202015.08.202150
01.12.202131.01.202250
01.02.202231.05.202260
01.06.202230.06.202260
01.07.202231.08.202260
01.10.202231.12.9999100

 

Ie. date validity ranges for "Share" that do not overlap but can have "holes"

 

I need to transorm the above to period (month) ranges. If there are more than one value for the month the last one is used. If the subsequent ranges have same "Share" they should be joined.

 

For data as above the expected result is following

Period fromPeriod toShare
20200120200270
20200320210850
20211220220150
20220220220860
202210999912100

 

I have already spent several hours trying to figure out the M-code for the transformation but failed.

 

Can anyone help?

      This is cool, what UI steps equal to Table.Group() ?

      Absolutely amazing. It works great. But I am not sure if my mental capacity is capable to understand how 🙂

       

      Thanks a lot
