Hey thank you so much. Its working fine.. ☺

Try this:

date(makedate(left(Date_Field,4),mid(Date_Field,5,2),Right(Date_Field,2)),'DD-MM-YYYY')

It will convert YYYYMMDD into DD-MM-YYYY and after that try applying ceil function.

Try like:

Load     *,

              'Q' & Ceil(fMonth/3) as Quarter;

Load

          Mod(Month(Date#(YourDateField, 'YYYYMMDD')) -11, 12)+1        as fMonth,

           Month(Date#(YourDateField, 'YYYYMMDD')) as Month

From <>;

Here if you select Nov from Month field, it will associate '1' in the fMonth field.
