<p><strong>How do you get Fiscal Quarter</strong></p>
<p><strong>Let say your fiscal year begins from 1st July then</strong></p>
<p><strong>First Quarter = { 7 , 8 , 9}</strong></p>
<p><strong>Second Quarter = { 10, 11, 12}</strong></p>
<p><strong>Third Quarter = {1, 2, 3}</strong></p>
<p><strong>Fourth Quarter = { 4, 5, 6 }</strong></p>
<p><strong>So with the above logic let us create a formula</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Right click on the date column</li>
<li>Select &#8220;Create Calculation&#8221;</li>
<li><img height="319" alt="Image" src="http://www.exceldashboard.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image-97.jpg" width="483" /></li>
<li>Type the following formula</li>
<li><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">switch(<br />
month(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) in (7,8,9) , &#8216;Qtr1&#8242; ,<br />
 month(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) in (10,11,12) , &#8216;Qtr2&#8242; ,<br />
 month(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) in (1,2,3) , &#8216;Qtr3&#8242; ,<br />
 month(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) in (4,5,6) , &#8216;Qtr4&#8242;<br />
 )</font></li>
<li>Click on &#8216;Use This Formula&#8217;</li>
</ul>
<p>Here is the Fiscal Quarter</p>
<p><img height="305" alt="Image" src="http://www.exceldashboard.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image-98.jpg" width="181" /></p>
<p><strong>Note: You can change the Quarter text to anything like &#8216;Q1&#8242; instead of &#8216;Qtr1&#8242;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Fiscal Month</strong></p>
<p>Similarly, if you need fiscal month, we can use the following formula</p>
<p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff80">switch(<br />
month(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) &gt;= 7 , month(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;)-6 ,<br />
month(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) &lt; 7 , month(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) + 6<br />
)</font></p>
<p><strong>Fiscal Year</strong></p>
<p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff80"><strong>switch(<br />
month(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) &gt;= 7 , year(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) ,<br />
month(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) &lt; 7 , year(&#8221;Order Date&#8221;) &#8211; 1<br />
)</strong></font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have a different Fiscal year begining then replace the numbers accordingly.</p>
