Date field to Quarters

[aaronnayan]

Hi Guys

How would I include in my Qlikview doc the option to select date in Quarters

My date field is DECDDT

i.e. Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4

How would i do this in my script?

[tresesco]

What is "DECDDT" ? Could you explain your date field data format?

[Peter_Cammaert]

Just an example of how you can accomplish this in your Load Script:

:

Dual('Q' & ceil(Month(DECDDT)/3), ceil(Month(DECDDT)/3)) AS Quarter,

:

For further information: almost every MasterCalendar example script available in this Community shows you how to calculate the Quarter value from a date field. In different ways.

Or simply

'Q' & Ceil(Month(DECDDT)/3) as Quarter

Hi Peter

Thankyou that helped tremendously, however it has grouped the years in together

q1= Jan 2016 feb 2016 mar 2016

        Jan 2017 feb2017  mar 2017

q2= apr 2016 may 2016  jun 2016

        apr 2017 may 2017 jun2017

I want the quarters to year specific, how can this be done?

[Anil_Babu_Samineni]

You mean to say, You have only 2016 and 2017 Data. Is that is correct, Although you can use same as perter and my suggestion to the en-count. If not, Please share sample data to look

[aaronnayan]

yes Anil so i would like Q1 2016 then Q2 2016 and so on and so on

Hi Aaron,

what about QuarterName() function ?

QuarterName('01-01-2017') ->  gen-mar 2017

Antonio

Try like:

Dual('Q' & ceil(Month(DECDDT)/3) & ' ' & Year(DECDDT), Year(DECDDT)*10+ ceil(Month(DECDDT)/3)) AS Quarter,
