Hello,
I have a database that has a date column like this:
01/03/2021 --> Values with this date refers to First Quarter of the year.
01/06/2021 --> Values with this date refers to Second Quarter of the year.
01/09/2021 --> Values with this date refers to Third Quarter of the year.
01/12/2021 --> Values with this date refers to Fourth Quarter of the year
How can i transform those dates into a quarter? Because when i do a graph with X axis it shows like 01/03/2021 and actually the values refers to the first quarter.
Thanks!

One way to do this is to create a new Calculated Column using the SWITCH function:
Quarter = SWITCH(
TRUE(),
[YourDateColumn] = 01/03/2021, "Q1",
[YourDateColumn] = 01/06/2021, "Q2",
[YourDateColumn] = 01/09/2021, "Q3",
"Q4" )
This is similar to a nested IF function in Excel, but I find it much cleaner this way.
if you will have multiple years in your data, you will probably need a Year column as well:
Year = Year ( [YourDateColumn] )
And then lastly concatentate these two columns together. Something like Year-Quarter:
Year-Quarter = [Year] & "-" & [Quarter].
Hope this helps.
maybe you can try this
fiscalmonth =
VAR _MONTH=MONTH('Calendar'[Date])
RETURN IF(_MONTH>2,_MONTH-2,_MONTH+10)
fiscalquarter = ROUNDUP('Calendar'[fiscalmonth]/3,0)
