some complicated if statements/formulas

[Karl]

Hi,

I’m creating an excel sheet to track my accounts and I wonder if someone
could give me some advice on a couple of if statements I can’t figure out?

1. I want a the first column in the sheet to look at the date in second
column and thendisplay which quarter the work was completed in, so the
statement would run something like this: “if the date in the adjacent cell is
between January and march, display ‘Q1’â€.

2. I need to track keep a running track of profits. Subtracting current
expenditure from profit is easy, but I also have to factor in a weekly
national insurance payment. I want to tell excel to check the weekly rate,
then tell it to check the current date, and each week add that week’s payment
to total insurance payments to date. This total can then be subtracted from
the total profit along with other expenditure.

If anyone can help me with either formula I’d be very grateful.

Thanks

Karl

One way:

="Q" & int((month(A1)-1)/3)+1

The following formula will deal with question 1-
=IF(MONTH(B1)<4,"Q1",IF(MONTH(B1)<7,"Q2",IF(MONTH(B1)<10,"Q3","Q4")))
