    Display Quarter in Months

    I am starting with a month e.g. January 2011 in cell A1 and I want to display the four quarters of 2011 in sepereate cells e.g. Jan - Mar, Apr - Jun, Jul - Sep, Oct - Dec.

    Is this possible?

    Yes but would be easier to type them in. Do you have Jan 2010 in a separate cell from the 4 cells you want to populate? Is it entered as text or a number?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    January 2011 is in cell A1 but I can change the month January to cell A1 & then the year to cell A2, if this was easier. I want to return the quarter description in cell B5, C5, D5 & E5.

    Okay, so whatever month you have in A1 (easier if entire date in 1 cell), you want to measure quarters from that date forward in 3 month intervals?

    This should work if A1 is a number formatted as mmmm yyy

    In B5, =TEXT(A1,"mmm - ")&TEXT(EDATE(A1,2),"mmm")
    In C5, =TEXT(EDATE(A1,3),"mmm - ")&TEXT(EDATE(A1,5),"mmm")
    In D5, =TEXT(EDATE(A1,6),"mmm - ")&TEXT(EDATE(A1,8),"mmm")
    In E5, =TEXT(EDATE(A1,9),"mmm - ")&TEXT(EDATE(A1,12),"mmm")
