FiscalQuarter 
=VAR FiscalYearStartMonth = 9 //this line giving error
VAR CurrentMonth = MONTH('YourTable'[CalendarDate])
VAR FiscalYearAdjustment =
IF(
CurrentMonth >= FiscalYearStartMonth,
YEAR('YourTable'[CalendarDate]),
YEAR('YourTable'[CalendarDate]) - 1
)
VAR FiscalMonthAdjusted =
IF(
CurrentMonth < FiscalYearStartMonth,
CurrentMonth + 12,
CurrentMonth
)
VAR Quarter = INT((FiscalMonthAdjusted - FiscalYearStartMonth) / 3) + 1
RETURN
"Q" & Quarter & " " & FiscalYearAdjustment

I was trying to add custom column from power query editor and was getting error. 

Then I discarded creating custom column from there and went into report view.

In report view , I went to desired table and added new column. That helped me get rid of error and calculate the quarter successfully.

Hi @Sania-F 

Please download the pbix file and go to Power Query and check how I calculate FiscalQuarter

Assuming Fiscal Year start from April and end is March (please change the custom column logic as per your requirement)
So April, May, June - Quarter 1
July, Aug, Sep - Quarter 2 
so
