Hi All,
I am trying to get the Quater no. from my calendar table.
I am using below formula but getting error, stating "Cannot convert value 'P2' of type Text to type True/False.".
Date | Period |
02 July 2021 | P12 |
01 July 2021 | P12 |
30 June 2021 | P12 |
29 June 2021 | P12 |
28 June 2021 | P12 |
Request your help on this.
Thanks

@Switto , Try like
FY QTR = 'EY calendar'[Date].[Year]&"-Q"&IF('EY calendar'[Period] in {"P1","P2","P3"},1,'EY calendar'[Date].[Year]&"-Q"&IF('EY calendar'[Period] in {"P4","P5","P6"},2,'EY calendar'[Date].[Year]&"-Q"&IF('EY calendar'[Period] in {"P7","P8","P9"},3,4)))
Better try Switch
FY QTR = 'EY calendar'[Date].[Year]&"-Q"&
Switch( true() ,
'EY calendar'[Period] in {"P1","P2","P3"},1,
'EY calendar'[Period] in {"P4","P5","P6"},2,
'EY calendar'[Period] in {"P7","P8","P9"},3,4)

Thanks Amit, It worked. I have changed the column FY QTR to text and it worked.
Thanks for the input.
Thanks for the quick reply. However, It showing different error.
"Function 'CONTAINSROW' does not support comparing values of type True/False with values of type Text. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values."
