Hi,

If in the key fields there is always 1 for first 6 months and 2 for next months then add a new fields in the load script for the first and second months

LOAD

     key,

     Month,

     if(key=1,Month) as First6Month,

     if(key=2,Month) as Second6Month

FROM

split.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

And then you get

Next6months.png

Let me know any changes required

Hi,

Try like this

LOAD

     key,

     Date#(Month,'MMM') as Month,

      if(num(month((Date#(Month,'MMM'))))<=6,Month) as Month1,

      if(num(month((Date#(Month,'MMM'))))>6,Month) as Month2

FROM

split.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

Hi,

We need to convert it into date using date#() Function as shown above.

If you have some sample data please upload it.
