Just check this

=IF(MONTH(I8)>3,"FY"&YEAR(I8)&"-"&YEAR(I8)+1,IF(MONTH(I8)<=3,"FY"&YEAR(I8)-1&"-"&YEAR(I8)))

Assume the target is in I8 cell with a date of 8/23/2011 , the out put will be FY2011-2012

If anyone is looking for a formula to figure out what fiscal/policy year an payment/event happened, even if that fiscal year/policy doesn't start on the first of the month I came up with this.

=YEAR(A4)+((MONTH(A4)>=MONTH($D$1)+(DAY(A4)<Day($D$1)))-1)

D1 in this has to be a full date 01/06/2019 for example.

Also surely a cheeky Vlookup is a better way of doing the quarter formula

=Vlookup(Month(A6),etc.)

"=Vlookup(Month(A6),etc.)" It's so simple, yet so elegant... not sure why I didn't think of this but this was a huge find. Thank you!

I came up with a self contained choose() to calculate the fiscal year that doesn't need to use an external cell as an input.
.
Fiscal Year EndCalculation
="June 30, " & (YEAR(E2) +CHOOSE(MONTH(E2),0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1))
. * The first part is just a text string
. * & concatenates the first part to the second part which calculatesthe appropriate year.
. * Year(e2) extracts the year number from the date in column E
. * Choose() looks at the month number from that same date.
. For months Jan through June itretrieves the value 0,
. For months July thru Dec itretrieves value 1.
. The retrieved value is added to theyear extracted to give the appropriate year end
“June 30, 2020”.

This is on the assumption that a company is not likely to be changing it's year end. Doesn't work if the sheet is being used for multiple companies with different year ends ...

Please correct the fiscal-year formula you give above! It does not work unless the fiscal year begins with month 7. This formula will work just fine:

=YEAR(DATE(YEAR(A4),MONTH(A4)+12-($D$1-1),1))

But it is still way more complex than it needs to be. Use Michael's formula (but correct his typo):

=YEAR(A4)+(MONTH(A4)>=$D$1)

IF YOU WANT TO FIND FISCAL YEAR IN INDIA....

You can use below formulae:


Here Col K2 is our date column which is to be converted in format 20XX-XY (e.g. 2017-18).

=IF(MONTH(K2)<4,TEXT(DATE(YEAR(K2)-1,MONTH(K2),DAY(K2)),"YYYY-")&TEXT(DATE(YEAR(K2),MONTH(K2),DAY(K2)),"YY"),TEXT(DATE(YEAR(K2),MONTH(K2),DAY(K2)),"YYYY-")&TEXT(DATE(YEAR(K2)+1,MONTH(K2),DAY(K2)),"YY"))

You can also use below formula for the same condition :


=IF(MONTH(K2)<4,YEAR(K2)-1&"-"&TEXT(K2,"YY"),YEAR(K2)&"-"&TEXT(K2,"YY")+1)
