@Anonymous ,

you need following column

 Period = "P" & format(if(month([Date]) <10, month([Date])+3, month([Date]) -9 ),"00")

 

 Year Period = "P" & format(if(month([Date]) <10, month([Date])+3, month([Date]) -9 ),"00")& "-" & if(month([Date]) <10, Year([Date]), Year([Date]) +1 ) //you can change this logic

 

Sort Year Period = if(month([Date]) <10, Year([Date]), Year([Date]) +1 )*100 + if(month([Date]) <10, month([Date])+3, month([Date]) -9 )

 

mark sort Year Period as sort column of  Year Period

you can try to create some columns

 

year = year('Table'[Date])
month = month('Table'[Date])
fiscalyear = if('Table'[month]>=10,'Table'[year]+1,'Table'[year])
fiscalmonth = if('Table'[month]>=10,'Table'[month]-9,'Table'[month]+3)
yearmonth = 'Table'[fiscalyear]*100+'Table'[fiscalmonth]
Column = "P"&right("0"&'Table'[fiscalmonth],2)&":"&'Table'[fiscalyear]

Hi @amitchandak 
This formula doesn't work. Generally, I have a problem with If formula.
with result.pngwithout result.png
when I add <10 I can't continue with ResultifTrue.
