Filling in gaps of a table with nested loops

I have a table whose key is an ID and a Process Date
The process Date can be any month between and including 01/01/2010 and 05/01/2010
Every ID should consist of five rows or Months between and including 01/01/2010 and 05/01/2010
The problem is there are gaps in the table's process dates.   In this example were missing
a row for ID A that has a Process Date or 03/01/2010 and X is missing a row with a
Process Date of 02/01/2010.    How do I programmatically fill in these gaps?  I would
assume I could do it with a nested loop but... I'm new to QlikView and I can't figure
out the code.   Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.


ID Process Date
A   01/01/2010
A   02/01/2010

A   04/01/2010
A   05/01/2010
...

X   01/01/2010

X   03/01/2010
X   04/01/2010
X   05/01/2010
