I have a large spreadsheet that is a five-year forecast. In one column is
a
date, I need to know a way to calculate the quarter, in XQYY format, the
event is forecasted to happen. Where X is the quarter from the table
below, Q
is a set value and XX is the forecast year.

Date Range Quarter
January - March 1
April - June 2
July - September 3
October - December 4

For example, March 2009, would be 1Q09.

Thanks,
