Filling Date Gaps During Load Set Frequency

Anonymous — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 19:24:41 GMT

I have been scouring the discussion groups on filling date gaps. My need is that I need to generate a date based on a frequency.

So I have a start date: 01/01/2014

an End Date: 12/31/2014

and a frequency of: 30 days

Value 5

I want to be able to populate a date every days up to the end date, but not everyday. I know the 30 days don't translate to the dates below, this is just an example.

2/1/2014

3/1/2014

4/1/2014 ...

Using the other methods in the groups, I see how to fill in every day, but that is not what I was shooting for.

I have attached an example.

Any help would greatly be appreciated and thank you in advance.

Maybe like

Table1:

LOAD

ID,StartDate,EndDate,Value,Frequency

Inline

[

ID,StartDate,EndDate,Value,Frequency

1,01/01/2014,12/31/2014,5,30

2,01/01/2013,12/31/2014,55,30

3,01/01/2012,12/31/2014,555,60

4,01/01/2011,12/31/2014,5555,60

];

Table2:

Load ID,

Date(StartDate + (IterNo()-1)*Frequency) as GapDate

Resident

Table1

While (IterNo()-1)*Frequency <= EndDate - StartDate

;
