Calculate the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd month of the Quarter

Posted on by MCubedMama 64

I want to identify the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month of each quarter and make it a dynamic variable based on the current date. How would I do  that?

Example:

Jan, April, July, Oct = Month 1

Feb, May, Aug, Nov = Month 2

Mar, June, Sept, Dec = Month 3

    Hi @MCubedMama ,

     

    There's definitely more than one way to do this; here's the easy path.

    So in this example, if I needed to know "Month 1" months, a filter array brings back those months.

    From here, you can use the month names in your flow downstream for whatever reason you want to.
