In case you want to find the Financial QTR in a Macro, Assuming that Date is on the LEFT COLUMN.

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 ="=IF(AND(MONTH(RC[-1])>=1,MONTH(RC[-1])<=3),"Q4",IF(AND(MONTH(RC[-1])>=4,MONTH(RC[-1])<=6),"Q1",IF(AND(MONTH(RC[-1])>=7,MONTH(RC[-1])<=9),"Q2","Q3")))"

感谢楼主分享，很有帮助。
三个月为一个季度，12个月除3=4就是四个季度， 但是1 月除以3=小数点，所以要roundup，不要小数点，例如 1、3=0.33，不满一个季度，显示季度一，因为他们属于季度1

Hello, Dort,
The explanation of this formula is:
MONTH(B3)：This MONTH function extracts the month number from the date cell;
MONTH(B3)/3: Divide by 3, the number 3 represents the months per quarter;
ROUNDUP(MONTH(B3)/3,0): This ROUNDUP function is used to round up the value to the nearest whole number;
"Q"&ROUNDUP(MONTH(B3)/3,0): If you would like to write Quarter or Q in front of each number, you can concatenate the numeric result from ROUNDUP with the text “Quarter “ or "Q" by using the & character.

Thank you!

Mijn formules staan in het nederlands. Ik zou dus graag willen weten wat het nederlands equivalent is van "int" in deze formule.
