Alteryx has the ability to calculate the quarter, week number, etc:

Example

The attached workflow uses several of the Date Time functions: (See attached workflow)

  • DateTimeFirstOfMonth() Returns the first day of the current month, at midnight.
  • DateTimeLastOfMonth() Returns the last day of the current month, with the clock set to one second before the end of the day (23:59:59).
  • Quarter formula -if [Month] IN (1,2,3) THEN [Year]+' '+'Q1'elseif [Month] IN (4,5,6) THEN [Year]+' '+'Q2'elseif [Month] IN (7,8,9) THEN Year]+' '+'Q3'else [Year]+' '+'Q4'endif
  • Week Number-ToNumber(DateTimeFormat([Date],'%U'))+1

Input:
week_number.JPG
Output:
week_number_2.JPG

it would be so helpful to be able to add any date to this function and get the monthend:  DateTimeLastOfMonth(1/15/2017).
