Thank you too Martin. The Vlookup worked too.

Hi Mally,

Try this in E1 and dragged down

=LOOKUP(MONTH(D1),{0,4,7,10,13},{"Q4","Q1","Q2","Q 3"})

Hi

I have a list of dates in column C e.g. 01/10/2008

Column D equals the dates in column C and are formatted using the custom
'mmm' e.g. Oct

What I need is a formaula in column E that shows

If D1=Apr, May or Jun then the formula result displays "Q1"
OR
If D1=Jul, Aug or Sep then the formula result displays "Q2"
OR
If D1=Oct, Nov or Dec then the formula result displays "Q3"
OR
If D1=Jan, Feb or Mar then the formula result displays "Q4"

The formaula will be copied down the column

Thank you in advance.
