Hello! I have a standard [Date] column and create trimesters for a graph. What would be the best approach to create a Trimester value/label? I was considering create an entirely new date table, but I think a simple new measure/column would be easier to achieve this.
I was thinking of a calculation along the lines of IF [Date] between January 1 - April 30 then "Trimester 1" ELSEIF date between May 1 - August 31 then "Trimester 2" etc. etc. but was having trouble thinking of the proper construction of this new column.
Thanks!

Better to do that on a month number column, so:
Trimester =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Date'[Month Number] <= 4, 1,
'Date'[Month Number] <= 8, 2,
3
)
I'm trying to think of which functions to use in this calculation.

Ahhhh, I'm coming over from Tableau so I wasn't well-versed in SWITCH, thank you!
