Maybe give an example? Maybe I’m just slow but I think it’s ambiguous the way it’s phrased

I have a quantity of 100 units that need to be allocated across 50 days. The data set is comprised of hundreds of these scenarios X quantity allocated across 50 days. The quantity varies but number of days remain the same. What's the best way to get an ML model to do this.

It sounds more like constrained optimization than ML but still too vague of an explanation for me to be helpful so I’m giving up. Good luck

Sounds like you want to predict 50 values, given 150 inputs. ML might work, but I doubt you'd have enough data to avoid over fitting.

It also sounds like it's not like there's a single correct numerical answer for any given day, rather, you're trying to find a decent distribution. So look first into constrained optimizations first, similar to budget allocation or task distribution optimizations.
