Forecast monthly expense
I'm trying to create a formula within ETL that will help budget owners understand how their expenses will be accrued over time.
Ex: There's one Purchase Order that has $10,000 left to invoice, and the PO end date is July 31,2022. Our accounting team would expense them evenly for $2,500 for April - July. So I'd need to create 4 additional columns (April, May, June, July) within ETL that includes the $2,500 value.

instead of adding columns, consider adding rows.
consider trying to create an 'accruing_schedule' dataset that says
accrument_date, original_receipt date, po_id, po_id_accrument no, PO_amount, accrument_amt
so if your PO_amount was 10,000 and it was to be accrued over 4 months
you'd duplicate the row 4 times, you'd increment the accrument_date for the first (or last... whatever) day of each month. 10,000/4
po_id_accrument no
PO123_0422
PO123_0522
PO123_0622 etc.
that way you could filter accrument_date in the last 6 months and say "this is how much we accrued in the last 6 months across all your POs
if you UNION transactions, make transaction date the same as the Accrument Date and you can filter on activity_date in the last 6 months and have a column for expenses and accrument.
