Power Query. Pivoting data and creating missing dates in between start and end dates

Hi,

I am building a staff utilisation dashboard.


I have a dataset with projects estimated start and end date. Each project is allocated to a project manager.  An assumption is that a project manager should dedicate an even number of hours to a project per day (4.2)

 

Project NoStartEndOwneravailable hours to work on project per day
11/04/202030/07/2020Eunice4.2
21/04/202030/07/2020Ayla4.2
328/02/202030/05/2020Martin4.2
41/04/202030/10/2020Eunice4.2
51/05/202030/06/2020Ayla4.2
61/03/202030/06/2020Martin4.2
71/04/202030/06/2020Eunice4.2
81/04/202030/07/2020Ayla4.2
928/02/202030/05/2020Martin4.2
101/05/202030/06/2020Eunice4.2


I need to be able to show how much capacity and workload we have got at any given point of time at aggragate level

The visual that I am after is something like that:

To build such visual the data should be in this layout: 

DateProjectNameHours per day
1/04/20201Eunice4.2
2/04/20201Eunice4.2
3/04/20201Eunice4.2
   
30/07/20201Eunice4.2
1/04/20202Ayla4.2
2/04/20202Ayla4.2
3/04/20202Ayla4.2
4/04/20202Ayla4.2
   
29/07/20202Ayla4.2
30/07/20202Ayla4.2
….   

 

Is there way to convert the original dataset into the final one that using PowerQuery? Or is there way to do that without creating missing rows with dates inbetween Start and End date of a project?

I have figured out how to do that by creating a "list" of a ranges of values between two dates in Power Query:

Dates = { Number.From([Start])..Number.From([End]) }

 

Then, I expanded the list to new rows and created duplicate lines with project id, names and hours for each day of a project.

Fixed the formatting. Hope it is easier to read now. Please tell me if not clear I can try to explain better what I need
