want to create a new column by adding another 3 columns

Hi, Anyone can help me to achieve the below please,

I have a table below:

ScenarioMarketSub Industry19-Jan19-Feb19-Mar19-Apr19-May19-Jun19-Jul19-Aug19-Sep19-Oct19-Nov19-Dec
PIndiaCar3,3903,1504,1353,8773,1755,7173,4424,1924,3874,2344,3905,668
PIndiaTruck1,8291,5912,2051,9781,5923,3241,8062,2242,2872,1892,3683,133

I want to create a new table as below using the above table:

ScenarioMarketSub Industry19-Jan19-Feb19-Mar19-Qtr119-Apr19-May19-Jun19-Qtr219-Jul19-Aug19-Sep19-Qtr319-Oct19-Nov19-Dec19-Qtr4
PIndiaCar3,3903,1504,13510,6753,8773,1755,71712,7693,4424,1924,38712,0214,2344,3905,66814,292
PIndiaTruck1,8291,5912,2055,6251,9781,5923,3246,8941,8062,2242,2876,3172,1892,3683,1337,690

 

here 19-Qtr1 is the sum of 19-Jan,19-Feb and 19-Mar.

Anyone can help me to achieve this please. I don't want to use the column name like [19-Jan] directly
hence it will be different in next year.
I tried to use the straight table with expression (=sum(column(5)+column(6)+column(7)) but its not worked.

Hi Charles,
Just add expressions then instead of [19-Jan] like,
=expression for [19-Jan] + expression for [19-Feb] + expression for [19-Mar]

I suggest you creating Master Calendar with Year and Quater fields.
With those two the script will be more consistent and according to good practice.

You need to come up with something like this:

Instead of Year week you need Year quarter and instead of Date you need Month.

To get that you need to create Master Calendar or just write in the script this sentence:

Year(DateField) & '-' & Ceil(Month(DateField)/3) as [Year quarter]

Than use Pivot table.

To create Master Calendar:

Try google it as there is plenty of information.
