    Hi BKnecht,

     

    You can create a calculated column to return fiscal quarter, the sample DAX would like below.
    FYQuarter = "FY "&IF(MONTH(FiscalQTD[Date])>=4,YEAR(FiscalQTD[Date])+1,YEAR(FiscalQTD[Date]))&" Quarter"&CEILING(IF(MONTH(FiscalQTD[Date])>=4,(MONTH(FiscalQTD[Date])-3)/3,(MONTH(FiscalQTD[Date])+9)/3),1)

    The create the QTD column use the DAX below.
    QTD = CALCULATE(SUM(FiscalQTD[Sales]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(FiscalQTD,FiscalQTD[FYQuarter]),FiscalQTD[Date]<=EARLIER(FiscalQTD[Date])))

     

    The report looks like below.

     

    Regards,

That makes complete sense. My only problem is that I don't know how to create a calculated column that just gives me ordered numbers starting at 1 and then does down haha. Any ideas? Seems simple to me but I can't think of a way to do it with DAX. 

 

Thank you!
