Un-binning? dates/period to days per month

Hi everyone!


I would greatly appreciate some help with transforming some data.

My goal is to take take two dates (a period), and dump their respective number of days into individual month buckets.

 

I would like to transform the following:

Client NumberPeriod StartPeriod EndTotal Days
11111Jan-01-2018Mar-15-201874
22222Jul-02-2018Sep-08-201869

 

Into this:

Client NumberPeriod StartPeriod EndTotal DaysJanuaryFebruaryMarchAprilMayJune JulyAugustSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecember
11111Jan-01-2018Mar-15-201874312815000000000
22222Jul-02-2018Sep-08-20186900000030318000

 

 

How might I go about doing this? Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere. Please refer me to the question if that is the case.

Thanks!
//Sam

Use the Generate Rows tool to create a list of all the days, format those dates as months, then count the results in a Cross Tab tool. Check out the attached example solution to see this in action. 

 

Edit; I added a few more tools to show how to make sure all months are output and in the correct order.

Here's one way you can do it with the "Generate Rows" tool.
