Strangely, vba has a format for "Quarter," but the worksheet does not.

Debug.Print Format(Now, "q")
returns: 4
(For October)

Excel should have a built in QUARTER function which allows users to
calculate
the QUARTER in which a transaction occurs based on the date of the
transaction.

Ex: =QUARTER(J2) where cell J2 holds a date.

You have it for MONTH, DAY, and YEAR why not for QUARTER for those of us
in
the financial world?
