    CASE
    WHEN MONTH(CURDATE()) IN ('1','2','3') THEN CONCAT(RIGHT(YEAR(CURDATE()),2),'-Q1')
    WHEN MONTH(CURDATE()) IN ('4','5','6') THEN CONCAT(RIGHT(YEAR(CURDATE()),2),'-Q2')
    WHEN MONTH(CURDATE()) IN ('7','8','9') THEN CONCAT(RIGHT(YEAR(CURDATE()),2),'-Q3')
    WHEN MONTH(CURDATE()) IN ('10','11','12') THEN CONCAT(RIGHT(YEAR(CURDATE()),2),'-Q4')
    END

    Try this. it worked for me

    Actually, I was able to get your original formula to work as well. I'm not sure what is causing the error.

    Raj, are you in the Filter tile's formula editor there? Filter expressions must be boolean (true/false/null). You may want to use the Add Formula tile to create your quater string, and then perhaps multiple filter tiles with expressions like my_year_quarter = '23-Q2' to separate your data into different sets (if that's what you're trying to do).

    Also, it looks like you could benefit from the QUARTER function in that formula:

    CONCAT(RIGHT(YEAR(CURDATE()),2),'-Q',QUARTER(CURDATE()))

  • Good catch @rco . If this is a filter tile that would explain the issue!
