How to convert quarters and years into a date column

Hello everyone, 

 

First of all sorry for my english. I have two columns, one of them with different years and another one with quarters and i want to create a new column with date. For example:

 

Year        Quarter      Date (this is the column I want)

2018             1                        01/01/2018

2017             2                        01/04/2017

2016             4                        01/10/2016

 

Is there any way to do this?

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Add this as a new column:

Date = DATE([Year], SWITCH( [Qtr], 1, 1, 2, 4, 3, 7, 4, 10) , 1 )
