How to calculate sum of sales based on sales plan (target) within specific dates

[piotrama]

Hi,

I have 2 tables: one with sales data and the second one with sales plan with the sales target and dates between which the target should be reached.

sales:

Load * Inline [

company,sales,date of sales

Company X, 20000, 2018-01-20

Company X, 10000, 2018-01-25

Company X, 5000, 2018-02-02

Company X, 15000, 2018-02-12

];

sales_plan:

Load * Inline [

plan_id,company,date_from,date_to,sales_plan

1,Company X, 2018-01-22,2018-02-22, 50000

];

I'm failing to build a simple table which would show plan's details and sum of sales within the plan dates, something like this:

Plan id	Company	Plan date from	Plan date to	Plan target	Sales within the plan	Plan realization
1	Company X	2018-01-22	2018-02-22	50000	30000	60%

Can I achieve this using Set Analysis or should I modify my data model?

Here's the solution(but try to do it on ur own):

sales:

Load * Inline [

company,sales,date of sales

Company X, 20000, 2018-01-20

Company X, 10000, 2018-01-25

Company X, 5000, 2018-02-02

Company X, 15000, 2018-02-12

];

sales_plan:

Load * Inline [

plan_id,company,date_from,date_to,sales_plan

1,Company X, 2018-01-22,2018-02-22, 50000

];

Inner Join

IntervalMatch ( "date of sales", company )

LOAD date_from, date_to, company

Resident sales_plan;

Result:

Thanks, works like a charm! I wasn't familiar with IntervalMatch - very ufesul function.

You can do that with set analysis

Sum({<date_of_sale={">=date_from=<Today()"}>}sales)
