    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    To get calendar quarters you can just use:

     

    Date.QuarterOfYear([Date])

     

     

    To get financial quarters, you will first need to define your financial periods as period numbers against each date. Then you can use the following referencing the financial period:

     

    Table.AddColumn(previousStep, "finQtr", each
    if [finPeriod] >= 1 and [finPeriod] <= 3 then "Q1"
    else if [finPeriod] >= 4 and [finPeriod] <= 6 then "Q2"
    else if [finPeriod] >= 7 and [finPeriod] <= 9 then "Q3"
    else "Q4"),
