Default Formula - Period Quarter End

Barb, The formula didn't work. Keep in mind that the period/date field is
not formatted as a month and year. It is a period (007) and year (2007) and
is in the format 007.2007. The report is run throughout the year, so the
period will change monthly and I need to go back to previous quarter.
Quarter period/years in 2007 would be: 012/2007, 003/2007, 006/2007,
009/2007.

Thanks.

Let's say the date field you are referencing is C17. (has February 2007)

=TEXT(IF(MONTH(C17)<6,12,6),"000") & " / " &
IF(MONTH(C17)<6,YEAR(C17)-1,YEAR(C17))

HTH,

I Need a formula to give me the period quarter end. The date fields I have
to use in the formula a

Cell B35: 2007

Cell B54 (references period.year): 007.2007

I would like results to show as: 006 / 2007
The formula needs to take into account cross years, so if data was pulled
for February 2007, the "Period Quarter End" would be 12 / 2006.

Here is the formula I was trying to use. Obviously, it doesnt work.

=IF(AND(LEFT(B54,3)6,LEFT(B54,3)<10),006 / B35,"")

Any ideas???
