I have a spreadsheet for recording Board members' payments. All 4 quarters
are on one sheet with with subtotals after each quarter (cells C13, C18, C23
& C28) and a "Total Due This Quarter" in cell C31. What I want to happen in
C31 is only give the total for the current quarter. Is there a way to do
that even when I don't have a specific value in the subtotal cells?

Maybe this:

=CHOOSE(CEILING(MONTH(NOW())/3,1),C13,C18,C23,C28)

That won't work. I don't have a specific month listed, just the total for
the quarter - "Total First Quarter" in C13, "Total Second Quarter" in C18,
etc.

Save a function call CEILING(MONTH(NOW())/3,1) - (MONTH(NOW())+2)/3
since CHOOSE truncates its 1st argument to integers.

Did you try the code before ruling it out? The CEILING(MONTH(NOW())/3,1)
part of the formula returns the current quarter and has nothing to do with
months on your worksheet.

That calculates the (calendar) quarter number based on TODAY'S date and
returns the value from one of 4 cells based on the quarter number.

If that isn't what you wanted then I don't understand.
