    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.
