  24. Try something like this (off the top of my head... ==untested!)
  25.  
  26.   =choose(month(<datevalue reference>),"Q1","Q1","Q1","Q2","Q2","Q2",.. etc)
  27.  
  28. assuming the <datevalue reference> is a cell were the dates are entered as
  29. a datevalue  (hmmm.. that sure sounds like doubletalk to me..)
  30.  
  31. Place this formula in a row and then set the row height on the row containing
  32. the original datevalue info to 0.
  33.  
  34. Hope this works...
