Hello, Can someone give me some suggestions on how to deal with my case:
I have a table with project start date and end date, I also know $ of each project, now I need to get the total $ for all project for each month and also compare with the previous month $.
This is what I was thinking: get avg $/month for each project, write a beast mode to indiciate if a project is fall in Jan, Feb, Mar etc by comparing start date and End date. For example if I want to get the total $ for March, then Sum up $ when indicator for Mar is 1. However, I do not know how to get this work. If you have better idea, please let me know.
Below is a sample dataset:
For example, I want to to get total spend on March is $1400, Feb:1400, Jan: 1100, Dec 2018: 400.
Project | Start Date | End Date | Spend | Avg Monthly Spend |
A | 12/1/2018 | 3/31/2019 | 1600 | 400 |
B | 2/10/2019 | 4/30/2019 | 900 | 300 |
C | 1/1/2019 | 3/15/2019 | 2100 | 700 |
