Custom Filter

Hello -

 

 my current dataset has 5 years (2018-2022) of data and it is also broken down by quarters. I will receive 2023 data soon. 

How do i create a custom filter to show year 2022 and Q2,Q3 & Q4. When I get 2023 data I will need to Drop Q2 Then use Q3,Q4, and Q1 on 2023 and the cycle continues. Each qrt, the older qrt gets drop.

so the basic filter only gives me one condition. I would like to use the custom filter to select both qrt and year.

Hi @Tame ,

It would be easier to handle to convert quarter to serial number, counting from a certain point of time.

Input

Workflow

Formula

Serial_Quarter = ([Year]-2021) * 4 + [Quarter]

Current_Serial_Quarter

  = (DateTimeYear(DateTimeNow()) - 2021) * 4
  + CEIL(DateTimeMonth(DateTimeNow()) / 3)

 

Output

I hope this may be of some help.

Good luck.
