Hi Guys,

In my current role I have to look at data for a financial year and change it into calendar year data.

In my company, a financial year has 13 periods (4 weeks per period) and starts from April each year (e.g. 18P04 = 2018 Period 4).

The issue I am experiencing is that with P01 being from April, I need a way of converting the period data in calendar year data. So period 01 needs to become period 4 (+3 months per period so that april becomes P04 instead of P01).

The problem with just simply adding +3 onto the values is that for periods 11, 12 and 13; they become 14, 15 & 16. Is there a formula I can use which would not only take my data I receive "18P04" and display it as "18P07", but also can detect the end of the sequence (13 periods) and then start the next year by itself? E.G. my output data shows "18P12" but with the formula will then show "19P02"? (YYPXX is the format for the data I have = Year/period)

Any help on this would be greatly received & appreciated.

Thanks

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Thank you Fluff, that has worked a treat :D!

Now that I have the calendar year sorted. Is there a formula to recognise the data "19P06" for example and separate this into 2 separate columns, one for the year and another for the period?

For example "19P06" in cell B2, then in cell C2 you get the year "2019" and in D2 you get the period "P06"?

This really would be the cherry on the cake if possible!

Thanks again for your help, really appreciate it! :)

You can use
Excel Formula:
=2000+LEFT(A2,2)+INT((RIGHT(A2,2)+2)/13)
and
Excel Formula:
="P"&TEXT(MOD(RIGHT(A2,2)+2,13)+1,"00")
for that.
