How do you create column for fiscal year that is different from calendar year with Label

Hello everyone, 

 

I am trying to create our fiscal calendar with the following logic/conditions and label in the slicer:

lorenz0210_0-1697651741495.png

*Sep, Oct, Nov and Dec 2023 will be labeled as "2023 Q4", while Jan-Dec of the following year should show the normal quarter as Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4. 

I have created a fiscal year calendar below: 

FY Calendar =
VAR _calendar =
    CALENDAR( "9/1/2023","12/31/2024")
RETURN
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        _calendar,
        "YEAR", YEAR ( [Date] ),
        "MonthNumber", MONTH ([Date] ),
        "Month", FORMAT( [Date], "mmmm" ),
        "Quarter", "QTR" & FORMAT( [Date], "Q"),
        "QuarterNumber", FORMAT( [Date], "Q"),
        "MonthYearNumber", FORMAT([Date], "yy mm"),
        "Month Year", FORMAT([Date],"mmm yyyy"))
 
I have been dealing with for 2 days and having no luck. It sounds easy but already having headache. 
I am not sure if I am missing condition. 
 
Hope somebody can help.

Hi, @lorenz0210 

 

You can try the following methods.

Column = IF(YEAR([Date])=YEAR(TODAY())&&MONTH([Date])>=9,YEAR([Date])&" "&"Q4",YEAR([Date])&" "&[Q])

Hi, @lorenz0210 

 

You can try the following methods.

Column:

Q = "Q"&QUARTER([Date])
Label = IF(YEAR([Date])=YEAR(TODAY()),YEAR([Date])&" "&[Q],IF(YEAR([Date])=YEAR(TODAY())+1,[Q]))

hi @v-zhangti , 

 

Appreciate the help. Is there a way we can adjust the Sept-Dec of 2023 to Q4 and then Normal Quarters for the 2024 year? Also, is it possible we can sort the month number as September being the 1st on the calendar since it is the start of our fiscal year. 

 

Apologies as I am new and still learning.

Hi again @v-zhangti , 

 

I've tried again creating a new column measure that will show FYQuarter using: 

FYQuarter =
"FY" &IF(MONTH('Date'[Date])>=8, YEAR('Date'[Date]),YEAR('Date'[Date]))&"
Quarter"&CEILING(IF(MONTH('Date'[Date])>=8, YEAR(MONTH('Date'[Date])-8)/4,(MONTH('Date'[Date])+4)/3),1)
 
 But I am getting a different result and not getting the desired result.
