Displaying fiscal year quarters
NOTE
As an example, let's say your fiscal year runs from June through May; that means your first quarter (Q1) of the year would start on June 1. You can build a formula to output the correct quarter and fiscal year based on an existing date field.
Step 1:
To start, one formula field will be used to output the quarter (based on the Date field) using the formula below:
IF(
{DATE},
"Q"&ROUNDUP(VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({DATE}, 7, 'months'), 'M'))/3,
0)
)
Step 2:
Once that's configured, a second formula can be configured to reference the date and quarter fields, and generate the appropriate fiscal year:
IF({Date},
{Quarter} & " - FY'" &
IF(MONTH({Date})>=6, DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD(Date, 1,
'year'), 'YY'),DATETIME_FORMAT(Date, 'YY')))
This will output and format the quarter and fiscal year of the record depending upon the information in the Date and Quarter fields:
Step 3 (optional):
If you'd prefer to not use two formula fields to accomplish this, you can combine the two previous formula fields into a single one. Here's how that formula would look altogether:
IF({Date},
"Q"&ROUNDUP(VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Date}, 7, 'months'), 'M'))/3,
0)
& " - FY'" & IF(MONTH({Date})>=6,
DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Date}, 1, 'year'),
'YY'),DATETIME_FORMAT({Date}, 'YY')))
