expression help


Hi,

Looking for help please:

We have an app with the following script- the most important part of this is the If statement that turn a calender date in the data into Quarters. From this I want to create both a straight table and a chart that shows 'description' numbers by quarter. The chart is really easy and works; however, the straight table is just populating the same figures each quarter. I need help with what expression to put in the staright table to show figures each quarter. I can't attach application so refer to word atatchement with screen shots.

Any help would be really appreciated.

You Can use 'Q' &Ceil(Month([Date Abandoned)/3) AS Quarter
