Updating Old Delta Loaded Records

I have an application that uses data from a DB that only has the past 30 days worth of data at any given time. Because of this, we use delta loaded QVDs to build the application with around one year's worth of data.

The problem is sometimes our data is changed and thus only the past 30 days worth of data is updated. For example it will look like:

Data Month/YearSales RegionSales Region Leader
03/21WestPatrick Layton
04/21WestPatrick Layton
05/21WestPatrick Layton
06/21WestPatrick Layton
07/21WestCarl Peter

 

When I need it to look like:

Data Month/YearSales RegionSales Region Leader
03/21WestCarl Peter
04/21WestCarl Peter
05/21WestCarl Peter
06/21WestCarl Peter
07/21WestCarl Peter

 

Is there a solution to this without hardcoding and limiting the manual work? I know I can create a mapping table Excel document but these record updates happen often and I'd rather not have to keep adding the new updated records to an Excel document in the future each time it happens.

I think your doing the mapping at the last stage !!! 

On every delta load do the mapping and store it in to QVD so that during that point in time what ever the mapping is their will get updated else you need to update the mapping key with the time stamp so that while doing the mapping it would take that specific month value
