Hello, I am building a new spreadsheet and need to find the last date in a row and evidence which Quarter it falls in as per this example below.

[TABLE="width: 216"]
<colgroup><col width="75" style="width: 56pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2742;" span="3"> <col width="64" style="width: 48pt;"> <tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 75, bgcolor: transparent"]date 1[/TD]
[TD="width: 75, bgcolor: transparent"]date 2[/TD]
[TD="width: 75, bgcolor: transparent"]date3[/TD]
[TD="width: 64, bgcolor: transparent"]Quarter[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]01/01/2018[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]01/06/2018[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]01/03/2018[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]Q2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]01/03/2018[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]01/04/2018[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]01/07/2018[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]Q3[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I now using =max(a1:a3) will give me th latest date ,but i dont know how to convert that to a quarter.

Also i am looking to convert his to vba, as i am trying to avoid any formulas in worksheet, to keep it functioning efficiently.

Hope someone can hel.
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
The formula would be:
PHP:
="Q"&ROUNDUP(MONTH(MAX(A2:C2))/3,0)
The VBA would be:
Code:
Range("D2").FormulaR1C1 = "=""Q""&ROUNDUP(MONTH(MAX(RC[-3]:RC[-1]))/3,0)"

Thanks for the formula.

Would that VBA just put the formula in cell d2?which i trying to avoid ,just really want to see the result. Iwill give it ago and see what impact it has on the workbook.
