How about this:

Table1:
LOAD [Employee],
    [Key],
    [Record Number],
    [Date A],
    [Status]

FROM [..\.qvd] (qvd);

Table2:

Left Keep (Table1)

LOAD *,

     Date([Start Date] + IterNo() - 1) as [Date A]

While [Start Date] + IterNo() - 1 <= [End Date];

LOAD [Key],
     [Structure Entity],
     [Start Date],
     [End date],
     Region,
     Division,
    Plant
FROM [..\QVData\.qvd] (qvd);

Hi Sunny

The statement looks right, but now Table2 had 330 000 rows.

Will it load 330 000 x 330 000?

Is there not a more elegant solution?

I only want one record for Table2 where DateA from Table 1 is between Start Date and End date in Table2.

All other records in table2 can be disregarded.

Won't work, need a each row in table2 where DateA from Table 1 is between Start Date and End date in Table2.

Can't use a max date. Needs to look at Start and End Date for each record in Table2 and compare with Date A in Table1

Look at my solution.

You are joining two tables and then taking what you need.

Hi Robert

I actually did look at this solution this afternoon and it's brilliantly simple!

I love solutions that are simple and achieve the goal in as little transformation as possible.

Thank you
