Hi there, thanks in advance for any help or input with this. I am working with tables that have annual data on insurance policies that are effective for 1 year. I have Policy number (PolicyNum), current premium (CurrentPrem), the date the policy went into effect (PolicyEffDate), and cancellation (CXDate, which is 1/1/2001 if the policy was not cancelled). I am trying to earn out the CurrentPrem into monthly buckets. The tables are by the effective year going back to 2004, so basically 2004, 2005, 2006.
I'm not sure how to go about tackling this and have tried a number of different ways. I sense that I will need a query that will have 24 fields for all the months over a two year period that any given 1 year policy can be effective over. For instance, a policy created on 5/1/2004 (May 2004) is effective until 4/31/2005 (April 2005), and a policy created on 12/31/2004 is effective until 12/30/2005.
So for every month between January 2004 and December 2005, there needs to be a value generated (either zero or a monthly premium value).
Attached is a sample table with data. Really all I've been able to do is calculate how long a given policy is in effect for (how many months) and then how much the monthly premium is. I cannot figure out how to appropriate the monthly premiums to the corresponding months a policy is effective for.
Note that the current premium value takes into account cancellation which implies that the monthly premium for a cancelled policy is not 1/12 * [CurrentPrem] but 1/[MonthsInEffect] * [CurrentPrem].
