Hi, I cannot run this code on filter, is there anything I type wrong?

 

[F1] = IF [Current Month]<4 THEN "Q1" ELSEIF [Current Month]<7 and [Current Month]>3 THEN "Q2" ELSEif [Current Month]<10 and [Current Month]>6 THEN "Q3" ELSE "Q4" ENDIF

Hi @terrellchong  the reason why this code is working seems to be like you are using a wrong tool, try using formula tool as mentioned ni the screenshot. Then use filter tool to filter Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4.

I hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hi Graziti, good to hear from you again.

 

The reason that I want to use it in filter is because I want the sheet to be smart enough to choose the necessary criteria for a report. (for example, when it was January, it will automatically choose Q1 so on and so forth.

 

I tried to add tostring() in front of it but it wasnt working too.

 

Is there any tool that you would recommend me to use for my type of cases?

@terrellchong , will it be possible for you to share a sample workflow along with the output so that I can look into it?

Thanks.

Hi @terrellchong ,I guess this is what you are looking for.

 

Try using this formula in filter as per the output you mentioned.

 

IF [Current Month]<4 THEN F1="Q1" ELSEIF [Current Month]<7 and [Current Month]>3 THEN F1="Q2" ELSEif [Current Month]<10 and [Current Month]>6 THEN F1="Q3" ELSE F1="Q4" ENDIF
