    I am writing this formula in column to calculate the Quarter (Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4) from a date and getting results like (Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4) without the year. Can someone please help me with getting this value Q4 - 2022, Q1- 2023 , Q2 - 2023 etc.

    Thanks in advance!


    =IFERROR(IF(MONTH([Reporting Start Date]@row) < 4, "Q1", IF(MONTH([Reporting Start Date]@row) < 7, "Q2", IF(MONTH([Reporting Start Date]@row) < 10, "Q3", "Q4"))), "")

      You could use something like this:

      =IFERROR(IF(OR(MONTH(Date@row) = 1, MONTH(Date@row) = 2, MONTH(Date@row) = 3), "Q1" + " " + YEAR(Date@row), IF(OR(MONTH(Date@row) = 4, MONTH(Date@row) = 4, MONTH(Date@row) = 6), "Q2" + " " + YEAR(Date@row), IF(OR(MONTH(Date@row) = 7, MONTH(Date@row) = 8, MONTH(Date@row) = 9), "Q3" + " " + YEAR(Date@row), IF(OR(MONTH(Date@row) = 10, MONTH(Date@row) = 11, MONTH(Date@row) = 12), "Q4") + " " + YEAR(Date@row)))), "")

      Hope this helps!

      Thanks a lot Kelly. It is now working as expected. One more question, when I changed the Date to Reporting Start Date this is not working. I am now using the below query. Not sure if the issue is the spaces in the "Reporting Start Date" column.

      =IFERROR(IF(OR(MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 1, MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 2, MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 3), "Q1" + " " + YEAR(Reporting Start Date@row), IF(OR(MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 4, MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 4, MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 6), "Q2" + " " + YEAR(Reporting Start Date@row), IF(OR(MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 7, MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 8, MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 9), "Q3" + " " + YEAR(Reporting Start Date@row), IF(OR(MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 10, MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 11, MONTH(Reporting Start Date@row) = 12), "Q4") + " " + YEAR(Reporting Start Date@row)))), "")

      You'll need to put brackets around the column names (column names with spaces or digits need brackets).

      =IFERROR(IF(MONTH([Reporting Start Date]@row) = 1 etc.

      Does that work for you?
