Effective Dates Generation Example

Effective Dates Generation Example

You want to generate start dates and end dates for customer addresses.
The target table has two customers. Each customer has one identification number. The table has three address rows for each customer. You choose a date range to generate a random effective start date for each customer. You select an effective start date column to put the start date into. You select an effective end date column to put an end date into. You select the customer identification number as the grouping column.
The rule generates a random start date for the first address row for each customer. The rule generates a random end date that occurs after the start date. The rule generates a start date for the next row that is after the end date of the previous row.
The following table shows a sample table with the generated data:
Customer ID
Address
Start Date
End Date
