Hi

I'm sure there is an easier way, but this works
="Q"&2+CEILING(MONTH(B1),3)/3-4*(MONTH(B1)6)

The formulaes worked for a calendar year but from that post but I could
not
get it to work for the financial year. e.g 12/12/06 came up as q4 and I
needed it to come up as q2.

Thank you.

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?
