Hi
I have a query in Power Query like:
Site id | Start Date | End Date | Value 1 | Value 2 | Value 3 |

The date periods are random and dataset comes every month as a txt file. Newer txt often contain corrections of older ones but do not necessarily share start date or end date. My goal is to keep the latest records and split the older ones to fill whatever remains (still newer should come first) and change the values 1 etc. according to the split date span.
Example:
Older record:
Site IdStart DateEnd DateValue 1Value 2Value 3
58002/01/202021/01/2020102030
65615/01/202005/03/2020653045
68901/01/202031/01/20205080
60​

new record:
Site IdStart DateEnd DateValue 1Value 2Value 3
58012/01/202030/02/2020203050
88803/02/202015/03/2020327560
68901/02/202029/02/20206070
30​

then keep the new one as is and make the older like:
Older record:
Site IdStart DateEnd DateValue 1Value 2Value 3
58002/01/202011/02/2020=(10/20)*10=5=(10/20)*20=(10/20)*30
65615/01/202005/03/2020653045
68901/01/202031/01/20205080
