Formula correction

**birdhouse** · 10-18-2012, 12:48 PM

In the below formula, the Month is July and returns the number "7", why then does the formula result in "1st Qtr" no matter what date the forumla references?

thanks for the help

=IF(MONTH(D2>1),IF(MONTH(D2<=3), "1st Qtr",""),"")

Hi,

In general,the comparison should be month(d2)>1 instead of Month(d2>1). The correct formula, to me, would be
=IF(AND(MONTH(D2)>1,MONTH(D2)<=3), "1st Qtr","")

not sure if this addresses your query.

A correction in the formula: =IF(AND(MONTH(D2)>=1,MONTH(D2)<=3), "1st Qtr","")
