if function - dates

I have a speadsheet where there are dates in a column. I would like to write an if function in the next column that states if the date in that cell is between two dates the result would be quarter one and if between two other dates the result would be quarter two. Any help would be great

Hi,
searching on the forum will certainly yield the answer as it has been answered many times.
A combination of IF and OR will be necessary

Cheers

Hi wantucce,

The following is based upon the quarters being a calendar basis and the first date being in cell A2 (change as required):

=IF(AND(A2>=DATE(2008,1,1),A2<=DATE(2008,3,31)),"Qtr 1",IF(AND(A2>=DATE(2008,4,1),A2<=DATE(2008,6,30)),"Qtr 2",IF(AND(A2>=DATE(2008,7,1),A2<=DATE(2008,9,30)),"Qtr 3","Qtr 4")))
