I need to show a way of counting the team cost per month taking in to account salary increases, the way I'm doing this currently is to have an end date placed as if they've left the business on their last salary then a new start date placed for when they start their new salary. In reality, this is not a great way to do this as if I need to look at the raw data there will be duplicate names and a minefield trying to figure out actual start dates and end dates.
What I've done now is create new columns with the increase which is actually their total salary increase rather than the amount (Maybe the amount would make more sense rather than to divide it per month) then the to and from dates, blank end dates mean they're still employed.
So as an example The team cost from Jan to April would be 1,500 but would go up to 1650 from May. Another issue I'm facing is because a salary increase could start mid-month or first week of the month I wouldn't want it to count in both months.
