    Hi Caitlin_Knox

     

    i guess you enter this formula in a date table and you want to add a column what shows you 1 if the date is the current quater. In this case i added before a quaternumber column:

     

    QuaterNumber = if(dim_Date[Year] = year(now());roundup(dim_Date[MonthNumberOfYear]/3;0);0) and then

     

    Current QTD = if(dim_Date[QuaterNumber] = roundup(month(now()-1)/3;0);1;0)

    That works for me fine, maybe it helps you also.

You can also use following expression to get the Quarter number.

 

Quarter Number = INT(FORMAT(NOW(),"q"))
