MasterCalender per ID

colinodonnel — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 06:33:38 GMT

Hello there,

I have the following table:

ID	Min Date	Max Date
1	01/01/2018	05/01/2018
2	02/01/2018	05/01/2018

From this, how can I create the following table?:

ID	Date
1	01/01/2018
1	02/01/2018
1	03/01/2018
1	04/01/2018
1	05/01/2018
2	02/01/2018
2	03/01/2018
2	04/01/2018
2	05/01/2018

There are lots of posts on creating a Master Calendar so I have script to create between a single min/max date.

But the twist is, I need the MasterCalendar script to repeat for each new ID, and to concatenate the results into one table.

Thank you,

Colin

Assuming your Min and Max date are in format DD/MM/YYYY... you can try this

Table:
LOAD ID,
	 Date([Min Date] + IterNo() - 1) as Date
While [Min Date] + IterNo() - 1 <= [Max Date];
LOAD * INLINE [
    ID, Min Date, Max Date
    1, 01/01/2018, 05/01/2018
    2, 02/01/2018, 05/01/2018
];

Hi Sunny,

Thanks for this.

What a beautifully succinct bit of code.

I don't fully understand how it works.

Would you kindly explain how / why it creates the new rows one ID at a time (a bit like a loop maybe?)

Thanks, Colin
