I have a data table containing ids with a start date and end date associated with both.
RowNo AcNo StartDate EndDate
1 R125 01/10/2017 30/09/2020
2 R126 01/10/2017 30/09/2018
3 R127 01/10/2017 30/09/2019
4 R128 01/10/2017 30/09/2020
I need to expand (i.e. unpivot) this table to allow one row for each eomonth between the start and end date (inclusive) for each AcNo. The row numbers are unimportant.
AcNo EOMONTHs
R125 Oct 17
R125 Nov 17
R125 Dec 17
R125 Jan 18
R125 Feb 18
R125 Mar 18
...
R128 Apr 20
R128 May 20
R128 Jun 20
R128 Jul 20
R128 Aug 20
R128 Sep 20
I can do each row with a pair of formulas like this,
'in F2
=IF(ROW(1:1)-1<DATEDIF(C$2, D$2, "m"), B$2, TEXT(,))
'in G2
=IF(ROW(1:1)-1<DATEDIF(C$2, D$2, "m"), EOMONTH(C$2, ROW(1:1)-1), TEXT(,))
'F2:G2 filled down
However I have thousands of rows of AcNos and this is unwieldy to perform for individual rows.
I've also used VBA's DateDiff to form a loop for individual rows.
Dim m As Long, ms As Long
With Worksheets("Sheet2")
.Range("F1:G1") = Array("AcNo", "EOMONTHs")
ms = DateDiff("m", .Cells(2, "C").Value2, .Cells(2, "D").Value2)
For m = 1 To ms + 1
.Cells(m, "M") = .Cells(2, "B").Value2
.Cells(m, "N").Formula = "=EOMONTH(C$2, " & m - 1 & ")"
Next m
End With
Again this only expands one row at a time.
How would I loop through the rows stacking each series into a single column? Any suggestions for adjustments to my formula or code would be welcome.
Only because you seem to be soliciting multiple options, here is one without VBA:
- Expand your table to the right with a formula (using structured references here):
=IF(EOMONTH(Table1[@[StartDate]:[StartDate]],COLUMNS($A:A))<Table1[@[EndDate]:[EndDate]],EOMONTH(Table1[@[StartDate]:[StartDate]],COLUMNS($A:A)),"")
- Use
Power Query
or Data Get & Transform
to unPivot all except the first two columns: (easily done in the GUI, but I paste the code below for interest)
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"RowNo", Int64.Type}, {"AcNo", type text}, {"StartDate", type datetime}, {"EndDate", type datetime}, {"Column1", type datetime}, {"Column2", type datetime}, {"Column3", type datetime}, {"Column4", type datetime}, {"Column5", type datetime}, {"Column6", type datetime}, {"Column7", type datetime}, {"Column8", type datetime}, {"Column9", type datetime}, {"Column10", type datetime}, {"Column11", type datetime}, {"Column12", type datetime}, {"Column13", type datetime}, {"Column14", type datetime}, {"Column15", type datetime}, {"Column16", type datetime}, {"Column17", type datetime}, {"Column18", type datetime}, {"Column19", type datetime}, {"Column20", type datetime}, {"Column21", type datetime}, {"Column22", type datetime}, {"Column23", type datetime}, {"Column24", type datetime}, {"Column25", type datetime}, {"Column26", type datetime}, {"Column27", type datetime}, {"Column28", type datetime}, {"Column29", type datetime}, {"Column30", type datetime}, {"Column31", type datetime}, {"Column32", type datetime}, {"Column33", type datetime}, {"Column34", type datetime}}),
#"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"RowNo", "AcNo"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{"Attribute"}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"Value", "EOM Date"}}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns",{{"EOM Date", type date}})
in
#"Changed Type1"
- Sort the results by AcNo and then by Date:
Note that, when done this way, the first date is actually a BOM date, but if you format them as in your results, mmm yy, it'll look the same. And things are easily changed if that is an issue.
If having the first month as a BOM date is not desired:
=IF(EOMONTH(Table1[@[StartDate]:[StartDate]],COLUMNS($A:A)-1)<=Table1[@[EndDate]:[EndDate]],EOMONTH(Table1[@[StartDate]:[StartDate]],COLUMNS($A:A)-1),"")
- When executing the
Data Get & Transform
, delete the StartDate
column in the Query GUI editor, as this will not affect the other columns at that time.
Try it as a nested For ... Next loop using DateDiff to determine the number of months. Collecting the progressive values in an array will speed up execution before dumping them back to the worksheet.
Option Explicit
Sub eoms()
Dim a As Long, m As Long, ms As Long, vals As Variant
With Worksheets("Sheet2")
.Range("F1:G1") = Array("AcNo", "EOMONTHs")
For a = 2 To .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
ms = DateDiff("m", .Cells(a, "C").Value2, .Cells(a, "D").Value2)
ReDim vals(1 To ms + 1, 1 To 2)
For m = 1 To ms + 1
vals(m, 1) = .Cells(a, "B").Value2
vals(m, 2) = DateSerial(Year(.Cells(a, "C").Value2), _
Month(.Cells(a, "C").Value2) + m, _
0)
Next m
.Cells(.Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Resize(UBound(vals, 1), UBound(vals, 2)) = vals
Next a
.Range(.Cells(2, "G"), .Cells(.Rows.Count, "G").End(xlUp)).NumberFormat = "mmm yy"
End With
End Sub
VBA's DateSerial can be used as a EOMONTH generator by setting the day to zero of the following month.
Note in the following image that the generated months are the EOMONTH of each month in the series with mmm yy cell number formatting.
