How do I get dates recognised as annual quarters?
 

I am using a spreadsheet as a KPI planner. I need to report quarterly. Each
KPI has a day month and year assigned to it. I would like to automate this
so that when a date is entered in a cell, the annual quarter in which that
date falls automatically appears in the adjacent cell. Does anyone know how
I can do this?

How do I get dates recognised as annual quarters?
 

If your company uses standard calendar year and regular 3-month quarters, try
this:

For a date in A1

This formula returns the quarter number:
=CEILING(MONTH(A1)/3,1)

Does that help?
