Splitting a date range into percentages per month.

Hello all, 

 

I'm trying to split dates and apply a percentage completed per month based on how much of that date range lies in each month. Does anyone have an example of how they achieved something similar?

 

I tried my hand at a formula but its giving me a malformed function error.

@GermanH Your date fields are not in actual date format, first you need to convert them into date format (yyyy-mm-dd) then apply your formula, to convert the given dates to ISO format either you can use the DateTimeParse() function or DateTime Tool

the formula have error. in the min() part. it missing ")" that cause the syntax error.
and in the min(), it should be "2023-12-01" instead of "2023-11-01"

to do as dynamic month (avoid hundreds of formula), use generate row to generate month and change abit in the formula. (so 1 formula is applied to any month), and crosstab later to see the months, and you can rename if required.

however, it different from what I calculate.

[p2] is follow your formula:
