Default First and Last Day of the Quarter

Thank you so much! I was not even aware of the Floor and Ceiling functions.

May I ask one more favor? I would like to fill the neighboring cells with
the next quarter. Again using the date 2/14/03 and your formulas already
provided, I am looking for the following:

1/1/2003 4/1/2003 7/1/2003 etc.
3/31/2003 6/30/2003 9/30/2003 etc.

Thanks again.

Nice use of FLOOR and CEILING but I think the first formula should be

=DATE(YEAR(A1),FLOOR(MONTH(A1)-1,3)+1,1)

If your date is in A1 this formula gives the first day of the quarter

=DATE(YEAR(A1),FLOOR(MONTH(A1)-1,3),1)

and this the last day

=DATE(YEAR(A1),CEILING(MONTH(A1),3)+1,0)
