Automating Quarters

Dustin Whitehead

Hello, I need to know if there is a way that I can populate the Quarter automatically based on the system automated "Created (Date)" field in a sheet?

If the Created Date is between 1/1/2021 and 3/31/2021, I want the next column in the row to populate "1st - 2021"

If the Created Date is between 4/1/2021 and 06/30/2021, I want the next column in the row to populate "2nd - 2021"

If the Created Date is between 7/1/2021 and 09/30/2021, I want the next column in the row to populate "3rd - 2021"

If the Created Date is between 10/1/2021 and 12/31/2021, I want the next column in the row to populate "4th - 2021"

I would like it to continue that way through 2025.

Is there a way that I can do this without having to do it manually?

Thank You

Double check that the column name is correct.

You should be able to right click on it and then set it as a column formula.

Try this...

=IF(MONTH(Created@row) <= 3, "1st", IF(MONTH(Created@row) <= 6, "2nd", IF(MONTH(Created@row) <= 9, "3rd", "4th"))) + " - " + YEAR(Created@row)

Still getting Unparseable

Yes sir, I did, our column name is "CRF Submission Date" and that was what was in place of "Created@row" and it came up as #Unparseable ... Is it because my date is listed as mm/dd/yyyy? instead of an actual written out date?

It worked, I found my mistake Paul, thank you so much for the help, you are awesome!!

Hi @Paul Newcome is there a way to make that formula stick to the whole column so that I don't have to manually make sure each new edition has it?
