Can i get a pseudo steps for how this can be done. 

 

I am thinking of doing the following. 

1. Have a date table and compare the stock date in stock table with date in data table.  

2. for missing dates in stock table, create a calculated  column to capture the stock count from previous available date. 

3. in the service, when the user selects a date, get a the stock details if its available from stock table, if not populate from the calculated column derived in step 2. 

 

Please let me know if above approach is correct.
