Help with Generate Tool Setup

JMart2135

Hello Everyone,

 

I have a dataset that contains the following data:

 

Primary KeyLimitCurrentHoursMonthlyUseCurrentMonth
1120075015Oct 2020
2100050015Oct 2020

 

I have the table automated so that [current hours] will get update on a monthly basis. I need to be able create a new column based on the following:

 

create column [RunningTotal]=[CurrentHours]+[MonthlyUse] and calculate the running total until the running total >=[Limit] and for each row created, take the [CurrentMonth] and add 1 month for each new [RunningTotal] created. 

 

In the end, I am just trying to be able to project the estimated date that I will surpass the limit based on the running total. I tried using the generate tool, I am just having some issues getting it set up correctly.

 

Thanks ahead of time for any help!
