create custom fiscal qtr and fiscal year

[pokhani]

hi Everyone, 

am trying to create a custom fiscal quarter in power apps from date picker.  we have a fiscal year starting from Nov to Oct, so if the date picker select the date a Dec 1,2019 than the text input be FY20Q1

Something like this?

"FY"& Text( DateAdd( DatePicker3.SelectedDate, 2, Months ),
"yy" )& Switch(Text(DatePicker3.SelectedDate, "[$-en-US]mm"),"01","Q2","02","Q2","03","Q2","04","Q3","05","Q3","06","Q3","07","Q4","08","Q4","09","Q4","10","Q1","11","Q1","12","Q1")

hi @pokhani if you wish to try an alternative:

With(
    {
        _month: Month(yourDatePicker.SelectedDate),
        _year: Year(yourDatePicker.SelectedDate)
    },
    With(
        {
            __month: If(_month = 12,_month - 11, _month + 1), //starting teh fiscal at Dec
            __year: If(_month = 12,_year + 1, _year) //ensure all periods have the same year
        },
        "FY" & Right(__year,2) & "Q" & __month
    )
)

Result

now 2019

01 jan 2019 

hope it helps,
