I cannot for the life of me solve this

there are several options
but you get better help if you add an excel file, without confidentional information.
please also add the desired (expected) result.

You will have to tell us which dates cover each quarter, or is it just Jan, Feb and March are Q1, and so on?

Jan feb march are quarter 4, april, may jun Q2, july aug sept Q3 and so on.
Hi,
One way
=CHOOSE(ROUNDUP(MONTH(A1)/3,0),"Q1","Q2","Q3",Q4)

Hi,
I assume that was a typo and that April/May/June are Q1 (i.e. following J/F/M = Q4). Therefore:
=CHOOSE(ROUNDUP(MONTH(A1)/3,0),"Q4","Q1","Q2","Q3")
@Richard Buttrey
Q4 has to between ""
=CHOOSE(ROUNDUP(MONTH(A1)/3,0),"Q1","Q2","Q3","Q4")
Hi and thank you for your reply. I cannot attach a link or a pic of my spreadsheet due to restrictions at work. I am also a novice at excel so i am not sure what that sum means.
I envision that when finished the spreadsheet will allow the user to put the date in as it shoul and then excel will auto fill another column with which quarter it falls into. this will allow me to hide the qurter column and have a macro set up with a shortcut to 4 boxes labelled Q1,2,3 and 4. This will allow my users to easily access figures for each quarter.
Why not using pivot table to access figures for each quarter?
Hi,Originally Posted by danlRB80
This a somewhat different requirement to your original request to create a new quarter column. It would assist us greatly, not to say save us wasting our time, if you were to tell us up front exactly what you want to achieve. People who answer these posts are naturally somewhat reluctant to offer solutions if they find that the game changes half way through.
Is the year relevant? If you just want quarter number for a date in A1 try
=LOOKUP(MONTH(A1),{1,4,7,10;4,1,2,3})
Audere est facere
@danlRB80
I quote from #8.
This looks to me an non consistent range.
