I think you have to provide more information about the problems that you are
having. Sample input data and sample output data. It might be that the
Xdate.quarter function would be useful to you. What you want to do seems
pretty simple so it's hard to know where your troubles are happening, but I
understand you are having trouble.

>>I often want to collapse my date variables into full fiscal years, fiscal
quarters and fiscal halfs. Sometimes I want to do all three with the same
data. What is the easiest way to do this in SPSS. I have messed around
with date wizard, time series, record - visual binning seemed like a
possible option but I get an error message that my data is not the correct
type and the dialogue box comes up with no variables to select.
