Custom quarter column

Hi guys I need help with these dates, running into a hitch with the query to add a column

 

Q1 - 11/18/2022- 2/18/2023

Q2- 2/17/2023- 5/17/2023

Q3- 5/18/2023- 8/17/2023

Q4 8/18/2023-11/17/2023

 

Quarter =
let
Date = [Date],
Q1Start = #date(2022, 11, 18),
Q2Start = #date(2023, 2, 18),
Q3Start = #date(2023, 5, 18),
Q4Start = #date(2023, 8, 18)
in
if Date >= Q1Start and Date < Q2Start then "Q1"
else if Date >= Q2Start and Date < Q3Start then "Q2"
else if Date >= Q3Start and Date < Q4Start then "Q3"
else "Q4"

Thanks guys, I think it had to do with how I wrote the code. I just copied and pasted and it worked.

= let
  Date = [Date],
  OffsetMonths=2,
  OffsetDays=-17
in "Q"&Text.From(Date.QuarterOfYear(Date.AddDays((Date.AddMonths(Date,OffsetMonths)),OffsetDays)))

Hi @TorieO ,


What is the error you are getting?

If that is something along the lines of "Can not convert a value of datetime to date" then, extract the Date first before applying your logic.
