Hi Don -

Thank you.

So it's Linux, therefore I've been able to use Scrutinzer's solution with success:

Code:
echo $(date +CurrentWeek,%m/%d/%y)
echo $(date +CurrentWeekq,'"%m/%d/%y"')
echo $(date +CurrentPeriod,%^b%y)
echo $(date +CurrentPeriodq,'"%^b%y"')
echo $(date +1PeriodPrior,%^b%y)
echo $(date +1PeriodPriorq,'"%^b%y"' --date='1 month ago')
echo $(date +2PeriodPrior,%^b%y)
echo $(date +2PeriodPriorq,'"%^b%y"' --date='2 months ago')
echo $(date +CurrentPlanYear,"FY %Y")
echo $(date +CurrentPlanYearq,'"FY %Y"')

SO thank you both!

I do have a few more questions as to how to grab certain values.

Here are the additional variables:

Code:
CurrentQuarter,FY 2Q2017
CurrentQuarterq,"FY 2Q2017"
PriorQuarter,FY 1Q2017
PriorQuarterq,"FY 1Q2017"

PriorQuarterMnth1,JAN17
PriorQuarterMnth2,FAB17
PriorQuarterMnth3,MAR17
PriorQuarterMnth1q,"JAN17"
PriorQuarterMnth2q,"FEB17"
PriorQuarterMnth3q,"MAR17"

CurrentHalf,FY 1H2017
CurrentHalfq,"FY 1H2017"

I have the following code for the Current and Prior quarters, but I need help putting the output in the correct format (as shown above):

Code:
echo $(date +"%Y %m" | awk '{q=int($2/4)+1; printf("%sq%s\n", $1, q);}')
echo $(date +"%Y %m" | awk '{q=int($2/4);y=$1;if (q==0){q=4;y=y-1;}; printf("%sq%s\n", y, q);}')

As you can see, I also need help deriving PriorQuarter months 1-3.

Thank you for all your help!!

Hi -

Based on your suggestions, I've been able to acheeive my goal. However, I did need to use some if logic to get get there which helps with PriorQuarter Months 1-3 as well as prior year when in Quarter 1.

Please let me know if there is a better way, as I'm sure there is. Here is my code,
thanks!

_CH= Current Half
_PQ=Prior Quarter
_PQM1= Prior Quarter Month 1

Code:
echo ---------------------------------------------------------                                                                                                
echo "Advance Subvar Values"                                         
echo ---------------------------------------------------------

if [ $(($(date +%m)/4+1)) -eq 1 ]
then
    _CH=1
    _PQ=4
    _PQM1=OCT
    _PQM2=NOV
    _PQM3=DEC
    _SVYEARL=$(date +%Y --date="1 year ago")
    _SVYEARS=$(date +%y --date="1 year ago")
elif [ $(($(date +%m)/4+1)) -eq 2 ]
then
    _CH=1
    _PQM1=JAN
    _PQM2=FEB
    _PQM3=MAR
    _SVYEARL=$(date +%Y)
    _SVYEARS=$(date +%y)
elif [ $(($(date +%m)/4+1)) -eq 3 ]
then
    _CH=2
    _PQM1=APR
    _PQM2=MAY
    _PQM3=JUN
    _SVYEARL=$(date +%Y)
    _SVYEARS=$(date +%y)
elif [ $(($(date +%m)/4+1)) -eq 4 ]
then
    _CH=2
    _PQM1=JUL
    _PQM2=AUG
    _PQM3=SEP
    _SVYEARL=$(date +%Y)
    _SVYEARS=$(date +%y)
else
    _PQ=$(($(($(date +%m)/4+1))-1))
