Hi Lori,

Sorry for the delay here. Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this within the UI. I think that the best route here would be to create an elaborate custom freehandSQL calc field that basically says:

CASE WHEN MONTH(date) IN LIST (9,10,11) THEN "Q1"
WHEN MONTH(date) IN LIST (12, 1,2) THEN "Q2"
WHEN MONTH(date) IN LIST (3, 4, 5) THEN "Q3"
WHEN MONTH(date) IN LIST (6, 7,8) THEN "Q4" END
Let me know if this makes sense.

I am going to set this ticket to closed for now, but if there is anything else I can do to help here, please just let me know and the case will be re-opened!
