Quarter Index

Hi all,

Hopefully someone can help me with something that's wrecking my head - an incrementing quarter index.

 

I have your standard date table which I think I got off this forum;

 

myDates =
  GENERATE (
    CALENDAR( 
        DATE(2010,01,01),
        TODAY()),
    VAR startOfWeek = 1 // Where 1 is Sunday and 7 is Saturday, thus a 3 would be Tuesday    
    VAR currentDay = [Date]
    VAR days = DAY( currentDay )
    VAR months = MONTH ( currentDay )
    VAR years = YEAR ( currentDay )
    VAR nowYear = YEAR( TODAY() )
    VAR nowMonth = MONTH( TODAY() )
    VAR dayIndex = DATEDIFF( currentDay, TODAY(), DAY) * -1
    VAR todayNum = WEEKDAY( TODAY() )
    VAR weekIndex = INT( ROUNDDOWN( ( dayIndex + -1 * IF( todayNum + startOfWeek <= 6, todayNum + startOfWeek, todayNum + startOfWeek - 7 )) / 7, 0 ) )
    VAR nowQuarter = Int(roundup(month([Date])/3,0))
    VAR quarterIndex = Int(roundup(month([Date])/3,0))
  RETURN ROW (
    "day", days,
    "month", months,
    "year", years,
    "dayIndex", dayIndex,
    "weekIndex", weekIndex,
    "monthIndex", INT( (years - nowYear ) * 12 + months - nowMonth ),
    "quarterIndex",Int(roundup(month([Date])/3,0)),
    "quarterIncrementalIndex",Int(ROUNDUP(DATEDIFF([Date], today(),MONTH)/3,0) ),  -- Does not work
    "yearquarterIndex",Concatenate(years,CONCATENATE(" Q",Int(ROUNDUP(month([Date])/3,0)))),
    "yearIndex", INT( years - nowYear )
  )
)

My difficulty is the quarterIncrementalIndex, which is supposed to simply number past quarters from zero (current quarter) to [n].

e.g.

2019 Q2 - 0

2019 Q1 - 1

2018Q4 - 2

2018Q3 - 3

2018Q2 - 4

etc. etc.

the code I currently have is just a function of the current date, rather than the current Quarter. I've tried myriad ideas but nothing works.  I'm one step away from doing this in Excel and importing the table! :)

I don't mind if the index increments or decrements - I just want to count quarters!!!

Any suggestions welcome,

thanks

John.
