Example of usage
Let's consider we have data about holidays. It consists of three columns: date, name, holiday_trans.
You should select a column and a period for it. Each column from the dataset could be selected multiple times.
As a result, an additional column with the name generated by default (e.g. date_shift_3, date_shift_-2) would be added to the output dataset.
