Default formula for date

I have tried this formula but it still does not work.
Col a Col B
Q3 1/02/2007
Q3 2/12/2006
Q3 3/09/2006
Q3 5/4/2007
I entered ="Q"&CEILING(MONTH(DATE(2007,MONTH(A11=6,1)),3)/3
but it gave Q3 and the A11 changed to A12,a13 etc
so I tried $a$11 but still gave Q3 on all lines

Thank you.

Given that the OP wanted the fiscal year to start in July, if the
previous answers were like the one you just posted, they probably didn't
work...

One modification:

="q"&CEILING(MONTH(DATE(2007,MONTH(A11)+6,1)),3 )/3

In article ,

Hi

You posted this question in worksheet functions on 6th Oct.
You had several answers then, including my response of

="Q"&CEILING(MONTH(B1),3)/3

Did they not work for you?
