Distributing month amount on days

[#1]

Hi!

I have a budget file (excel) that has a budget amount for each month in a year. What I want to do is to distribute this amount to every day of the month. I guess I need to create some sort of loop do distribute the amount.

First I need to calculate the number of days in each month to know how many times i need to divide my month amount, which really isn't that hard.

But how do I create the loop to distribute the amount? Do I need 2 loops? One for every month and one for each day of the month?

Appreciate any help or suggestions!

Hi Kim,

You can try the below and adjust it based on your data model:

let vmindate = num(MakeDate(2012,12,1));
let vmaxdate = num(MakeDate(2013,4,30));

TableDates:
LOAD $(vmindate)+RowNo()-1 as PeriodDate,
Day(MonthEnd($(vmindate)+RowNo()-1)) as NumberOfDays,
Year($(vmindate)+RowNo()-1) as Year,
num(Month($(vmindate)+RowNo()-1)) as Month
AutoGenerate $(vmaxdate)-$(vmindate)+1;

Inner Join(TableDates)
LOAD * Inline [
Year, Month, Budget
2012, 12, 14000
2013, 1, 10000
2013, 2, 11000
2013, 3, 9500
2013, 4, 15000
];

DailyBudget:
LOAD *,
Budget/NumberOfDays as DailyBudget
Resident TableDates;
DROP Table TableDates;

Hope this helps.
