I am retired and I no longer take on client work.
It sounds like this is one of those situations where you have to make some investment, either in the form of effort to learn how to use tool, or in the form of paid consultation to do it for you.
You have data from 2012, correct? That's nine years old. What's been happening in that time? How has this been done? Who did it before? Do you know where the data actually came from? How would you expect to advance the dates? Are all of those machines still in operation after nine years? No new machines? No obsolete machines? At a minimum I'm going to guess this would be a 30 - 50 hour project, if it is done properly. That's much more than is possible in a forum like this unless you are able to do the bulk of the work yourself.

really thank you dear- George_HepworthJun 30, 2021Silver Contributor"...it is a project for university...."
Do you mean that it is a part of a class you are taking at your university? Or that you are taking on the project while working for the university?
If it is the former, then the best option would be to ask the teacher of that class for assistance.
If it is the latter, then the best option is to discuss this with the person who hired you and clarify your ability to perform the work.- mok1995Jul 01, 2021Copper Contributorthank you dear
