Earn-in Scenarios

carlcimino — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 17:35:29 GMT

Hello I have a set of data that has annualized amounts in a column with a start date and end date as well a a earn-in scenario. What I have been asked is to be able to see the monthly earn in between the start and end dates.

Earned-In Category	Earn Start	Earn Finish	Annualized Amount
Monthly	03/01/2021	12/31/2022	5000
Immediate	03/01/2021	12/31/2022	5000

For the Monthly results what happens is every month including the start/finish months gets the amount /12 inserted. What I have done successfully is this:

FACT_TEMP_NEW:
LOAD
RecNo() as ID
, "Earned-In Category"
, "Earn Start" //earnings start date
, "Earn Finish" //end date for earnings calculation
, "Annualized Amount" //Amount to be earned out until Earnings End Date
, ("Annualized Amount"/12) as "Monthly Amount"
, AddMonths("Earn Start",IterNo()-1) as "Year Period"
FROM [lib://Finance/QVD/FACT.qvd]
(qvd)
While AddMonths("Earn Start",IterNo()-1)<"Earn Finish";
;

For the Earned-In Category = Immediate the requirement is that the total annualized amount gets inserted in the Year Period of the Earn Start and then in the following year it should behave the same as the Monthly. Here is what the result should be for both Monthly and Immediate Earn-in Category. Any ideas on how to accomplish the Immediate part would be much appreciated.

Earned-In Category	Earn Start	Earn Finish	year period	Annualized Amount	Monthly Amount
Monthly	03/01/2021	12/31/2022	202103	5000	416.6667

Try this:

//Load the start month record
LOAD
RecNo() as ID
, "Earned-In Category"
, "Earn Start"
, "Earn Finish"
, "Annualized Amount"
, "Annualized Amount" as "Monthly Amount"
, "Earn Start" as "Year Period"
FROM [lib://Finance/QVD/FACT.qvd]
(qvd)
While "Earned-In Category='Immediate';
;

//Load monthly records starting with months after Earn Start Year End
LOAD
RecNo() as ID
, "Earned-In Category"
, "Earn Start" //earnings start date
, "Earn Finish" //end date for earnings calculation
, "Annualized Amount" //Amount to be earned out until Earnings End Date
, ("Annualized Amount"/12) as "Monthly Amount"
, AddMonths("Earn Start",IterNo()-1) as "Year Period"
FROM [lib://Finance/QVD/FACT.qvd]
(qvd)
While AddMonths("Earn Start",IterNo()-1)<"Earn Finish"
and AddMonths("Earn Start",IterNo()-1)>YearEnd("Earn Start")
and "Earned-In Category='Immediate';
;

Hi @GaryGiles , Thank you very much for the suggestion. Makes a lot of sense to break it down into pieces. The first two parts work as expected. I loaded the two example rows inline to test. The 3rd part is not returning a result. I think it must have to do with the while statement? Any additional ideas?

FACT_TEMP:
load * inline [
Earned-In Category,Earn Start,Earn Finish,Annualized Amount
Monthly,3/1/2021,12/31/2022,5000
Immediate,3/1/2021,12/31/2022,5000
]
;

FACT_TEMP_NEW:
LOAD
RecNo() as ID
, "Earned-In Category"
, "Earn Start" //earnings start date
, "Earn Finish" //end date for earnings calculation
, "Annualized Amount" //Amount to be earned out until Earnings End Date
, ("Annualized Amount"/12) as "Monthly Amount"
, AddMonths("Earn Start",IterNo()-1) as "Year Period"
resident FACT_TEMP
While AddMonths("Earn Start",IterNo()-1)<"Earn Finish"
and "Earned-In Category"='Monthly'
;

//Load the start month record
LOAD
RecNo() as ID
, "Earned-In Category"
, "Earn Start"
, "Earn Finish"
, "Annualized Amount"
, "Annualized Amount" as "Monthly Amount"
, "Earn Start" as "Year Period"
resident FACT_TEMP
where "Earned-In Category"='Immediate';
;

//Load monthly records starting with months after Earn Start Year End
LOAD
RecNo() as ID
, "Earned-In Category"
, "Earn Start" //earnings start date
, "Earn Finish" //end date for earnings calculation
, "Annualized Amount" //Amount to be earned out until Earnings End Date
, ("Annualized Amount"/12) as "Monthly Amount"
, AddMonths("Earn Start",IterNo()-1) as "Year Period"
resident FACT_TEMP
While AddMonths("Earn Start",IterNo()-1)<"Earn Finish"
and AddMonths("Earn Start",IterNo()-1)>YearEnd("Earn Start")
and "Earned-In Category"='Immediate'
;

drop table FACT_TEMP;

@carlcimino

You are right, for the 3rd Load statement, we need to take a slightly different approach. Try this:

LOAD
RecNo() as ID
, "Earned-In Category"
, "Earn Start" //earnings start date
, "Earn Finish" //end date for earnings calculation
, "Annualized Amount" //Amount to be earned out until Earnings End Date
, ("Annualized Amount"/12) as "Monthly Amount"
, AddMonths(YearEnd("Earn Start"),IterNo()) as "Year Period"
resident FACT_TEMP
While IterNo() <= ((year("Earn Finish")*12)+month("Earn Finish")) - (((year(YearEnd("Earn Start"))*12)+month(YearEnd("Earn Start"))))
and "Earned-In Category"='Immediate'
;

@GaryGiles This returned what was expected! I have accepted your response as a solution. Thank you very much for your help.
