Hi,

Does anybody knows of a formula to bring in the previous quarter in format “QX” based of another cell with a format “QX”?

This is for a live formula and I will need it to work for the 4 preceding quarters. My live formula is looking at a cell with today’s date and bringing in the quarter based on a bunch of if formulas (quarters do no align with calendar year)

For example, I need it to look at Q1 and bring me Q4 and when I drag it across it would bring me Q3 when looking at Q4 and so on

Sounds like you should be using a data model and Power BI

You should do a row of dates that is dynamic and have it calculate the quarter below it. Then use a =right(X,1) to pull the quarter and then use an index match or summifs to pull the data

If you need more data create a unique ID for each specific quarter using concatenate

Or just have a lagging row below the data so that it is lagging itself. If you have a live reference to the call 4 to the left, if you drag both over at the same time and while aligned you’ll get the data inputs you need

If you want to calculate fiscal quarter based on a date, just google the exact formula. That’s what I always do

If I understood your question correctly:

IF(cell = Q1 , Q4, concatenate( Q, right(cell,1) -1))

Im assuming you are handling year somewhere else.. if you need to get QX-YYYY I got something else for that

=« Q »&choose(right(A1,1),4,1,2,3)
With the Qx data in A1
