You can simplify the formula for the quarter just a little bit like this...

=INT((MONTH(A1)+2)/3)

Try these in b1,c1 & d1 respectively

=TEXT(A1,"mm")
=INT((MONTH(A1)-1)/3)+1
=TEXT(A1,"yyyy")

A1 = 1/23/2009 date format
I need B1 to show the month 01, C1 to show quarter Q1 and D1 to show the
year 2009.
How do I do this automatically?
