If Statement With Dates

Hi

 

I have the below dates and want to group them togerther in Terms. So if a date is between September and December it is Term 1, between January-April is Term 2, May-August is Term 3. I am looking at the month in the date. What is the best way to do this?

 

thanks

Hi,

 

You could achieve this by using MONTH in a SWITCH function like below

 

Term = 
SWITCH(TRUE(),
MONTH('Table'[Date]) >=1 && MONTH('Table'[Date]) <=4,"Term 2",
MONTH('Table'[Date]) >=5 && MONTH('Table'[Date]) <=8,"Term 3",
MONTH('Table'[Date]) >=9 && MONTH('Table'[Date]) <=12,"Term 1")
