IF / OR function
 

I have a cell with a number 1 - 12 in it. I need function to return a value
of 1 if the value in the cell is 1 - 3, 2 if the value in the cell is 4 - 6,
3 if the value in the cell is 7 - 9, and 4 if the value in the cell is 10 -
12. I am trying to assign the quater of the year to based on the month of
the year.
I think the right function is IF combined with OR but I cannot make it work.

Please help!!

IF / OR function
 

Try this:

For
A1: (a number between 1 and 12, inclusive)
B1: =CEILING(A1/3,1)

Does that help?

Though this may not be the preferred way. The type of formula you're
requesting uses AND:

=IF(AND(A10,A1<4),1,IF(AND(A13,A1<7),2,IF(AND(A1 6,A1<10),3,IF(AND(A19,A1<13),4,"Number
does not fall within in 1-12."))))


Could also create a table and use a VLOOKUP function.
Table would be

Columns
Y Z

1 1
2 1
3 1
4 2
5 2
6 2
7 3
8 3
9 3
10 4
11 4
12 4

=VLOOKUP(A1,Y1:Z12,2)
