Formula to find trailing 4 qtrs

[ysherriff]

I need a formula that will provide me the trailing 4 quarters based on current quarter. So if we are in Q3-2016, then i need formula that will spit out Q4-2016, Q1-2017, Q2-2017 and Q3-2017.


Thanks for your help.

I have attached an example book that uses a Named Range of values and then uses Index and MOD to find the next 3 values within that range. I made and example for both rows and columns. It is basically the same as the method illustrated here: http://chandoo.org/wp/2010/04/06/rolling-months/

Hi ,

Try this :

="Q" & IF(MID(C3,2,1)+0 < 4, MID(C3,2,1)+1, 1) & "-" & IF(MID(C3,2,1)+0 < 4, RIGHT(C3,4), RIGHT(C3,4)+1)

where C3 has the string Q?-???? e.g. Q2-2017

Or try this shorter version.....

In C3 : Q3-2016

C4, enter formula and copy down :

="Q"&MID(2341,MID(C3,2,1),1)&RIGHT(C3,5)-(0+MID(C3,2,1)>3)
