Dataset Overview
We’ll use a dataset called the Product arrival Date of ABC Shop to demonstrate these methods. This dataset consists of two columns B and C called Product and Date. the dataset ranges from B4 to C10 cells.
Method 1 – Using ROUNDUP Function
Steps
-  Start by selecting cell D5, the cell where you want to display the quarter and year.
- In the selected cell, enter the following formula:
="Q"&ROUNDUP(MONTH(C5)/3,0) & "-" & YEAR(C5)This formula combines the quarter (Q) and year based on the date in cell C5.
- Use the Fill Handle to copy the formula from cell D5 to D10.
- You’ll see the results as shown in the picture.
How Does the Formula Work?
- MONTH(C5)/3,0) & “-” & YEAR(C5): The MONTH function calculates the month value from C5, divides it by 3, and appends the year from C5.
- “Q”&ROUNDUP(MONTH(C5)/3,0) & “-” & YEAR(C5): “Q” is then concatenated with the rounded-up result of the MONTH function divided by 3, followed by a hyphen and the year from C5.
