How to create hours when they haven't been supplied

No reported hours have been supplied, so we need to use an expression to create the appropriate set of hours, e.g., in an Data Default expression or in an hours transformation expression (sometimes it's easier in a data default expression, sometimes it's easier in the transformation expression). Below are examples of writing expressions to create an hours array assuming 1,000 hours = 1 year, 173.33 hours per month:

173.33 hours per complete month [no events, just hire and decrement]
173.33 hours per complete month [events]
173.33 hours prorated for partial months using days in the month [no events, just hire and decrement]
173.33 hours prorated for partial month using days in the month [events]
