Need help splitting data with start/end dates into monthly columns

AnjaBabble

I have a data set which is set out like the following: 

Service ChargeStart DateEnd Date
A£3001/06/202531/08/2025
B£4.5025/05/202524/06/2025
C£1014/05/202513/06/2025
D£9.5001/06/202530/06/2025

 

I want to change the data so rather than having start/end dates, each month is a column with the relevant charge for that period showing in the column. How can I do this?

Hi @AnjaBabble ,

 

are you saying you want the dates converted to just months? Can you provide a mock up of what you would like to see?

Hi M, 

 

Id like to be able to split the charge over the relevant months. So it would look something like this:

Service ChargeStart DateEnd DateMay-25Jun-25Jul-25Aug-25
A£3001/06/202531/08/2025 £10£10£10
B£4.5025/05/202524/06/2025£0.90£3.60  
C£1014/05/202513/06/2025£5.67£4.33  
D£9.5001/06/202530/06/2025 £9.5

Hi @AnjaBabble ,

 

I first converted the date fields so I could do datetime calculations, this is so I could get the Generate Rows tool to create the values for each month in between the Start and End dates.

I then simply counted the instances and joined that back to the stream by each Case. Then it was a simple case of converting the charge to a numeric value and dividing it by the count. Then I cross-tabbed it to the required format:

Workflow attached.

I hope this helps,
