    Months defined from Quarter--IF FORMULA?

    Hi!
    I have a spreadsheet with a drop down box in cell E1 with the Quarters in it, i.e., QTR 1, QTR 2, QTR 3, QTR 4
    In cell F1, I want the months corresponding to the appropriate quarter.
    BUT OUR QUARTERS ARE FISCAL, so QTR 1 = Aug-Nov, QTR 2=Dec-Feb, QTR 3=March-June, QTR 4=July-Aug.

    Is there a way to auto populate cell F1 for the months in the quarter based on the contents in cell E1 with the drop down box indicating the quarter?

    Thank you so much!!

    It would probably help if you could upload a small (clean) sample workbook (not a pic) of what you are working with, and what your expected outcome would look like.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    I don't understand the arrangement of the quarters.

    How is August a member of both QTR 1 AND QTR 4 ?

    One way...

    =IF(E1="QTR 1","Aug-Nov",IF(E1="QTR 2","Dec-Feb",IF(E1="QTR 3","March-June",IF(E1="QTR 4","July-Aug",""))))

    It's how the school district defines them.

    Try putting this formula in F1 on the Daffy Duck sheet

    =VLOOKUP(E1,Lists!$G$1:$H$4,2,0)
