Generate a new list from the existing table

[tango]

I have hundreds of rows that shows employees absent date and I would like to have it reformatted on a list that shows the absent date in rows per day.

I have attached the file as well. Please help and thank you in advanced.

Sample:
Person Name Blank2 Abs-Code From Blank3 Until Blank4 Type t.fr. conf. appr.
920002 Person A VAC 05-19-2026 05-20-2026 D X
920001 Person B STH 05-18-2026 05-18-2026 D X
920005 Person C VAC 05-11-2026 05-13-2026 D X
920006 Person D VAC 05-11-2026 05-15-2026 D X


Desired Result

Person Name Abs-Code From
920002 Person A VAC 05-19-2026
920002 Person A VAC 05-20-2026
920001 Person B STH 05-18-2026
920005 Person C VAC 05-11-2026
920005 Person C VAC 05-12-2026
920005 Person C VAC 05-13-2026
920006 Person D VAC 05-11-2026

An alternative option is to employ Power Query. Here is the Mcode

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Person", "Name", "Abs-Code", "From", "Until"}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Other Columns",{{"From", type date}, {"Until", type date}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Duration", each List.Dates([From], Duration.Days([Until] -[From]) +1 ,#duration(1,0,0,0) )),
    #"Expanded Duration" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Duration"),
    #"Removed Other Columns1" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Expanded Duration",{"Person", "Name", "Abs-Code", "Duration"})
in
    #"Removed Other Columns1

Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.
