    elo0707 Riny's formulas for the quarter assume that your first quarter starts on January 1.  If instead it starts on October 1 (like the US federal government) or July 1 (like some companies), you can use these formulas, respectively:

    =YEAR(EDATE(E16,3)) & "-Q" & ROUNDUP(MONTH(EDATE(E16,3))/3, 0)
    =YEAR(EDATE(E16,6)) & "-Q" & ROUNDUP(MONTH(EDATE(E16,6))/3, 0)

    (I like to put the year first, as it keeps the field sortable, but you can easily change that.)
