| This sounds like a question for ANYWAY::ASKENET. Be sure and look
to see if it's been asked before though.

| 881.2 | Data for FY89 &90 | ARGUS::BISSELL | | Wed Aug 02 1989 18:41 | 9 |
| For what it is worth
Fy 89 started on 3 July 1988
fy 90 started on 2 july 1989
Each "fiscal quarter" contains 13 weeks
first "fiscal month" is four weeks, second is four weeks and third is
five weeks long.
You can plot this out, hope it helps

| 881.3 | try the phone book | SPGOPS::HSCOTT | Lynn Hanley-Scott | Wed Aug 02 1989 19:31 | 3 |
| You can also find it in the DEC phone book -- there's a page that gives
the fiscal year broken down by fiscal month.

| Re. .2
Let's not forget that some fiscal years have 53 and NOT 52 weeks.
Digital F&A scrambles when that happens, so expect irrational behaviour
at those times.

| 881.6 | Here's how it's done | POBOX::LEVIN | My kind of town, Chicago is | Tue Aug 15 1989 21:53 | 16 |
| Instead of sending readers to other places, it seemed simpler to
post a reply with a simple answer.
Fiscal year begins with first week containing at least 4 days in
July, then runs 4-4-5 weeks/month to form a quarter. This repeats
for all 4 quarters of the fiscal year. (Note the the fiscal year
is always identified by the end date, i.e. FY90 ends around the
end of June, '90.)
Usually the next week fits the "at least 4 days in July" rule, so it
starts a new year. Every 6 years or so, the extra day in the year
causes enough of a shift that the 4-4-5 4-4-5 4-4-5 4-4-5 pattern
leaves a week that's more June than July. In this case, Q4 becomes
4-4-6.

| 881.7 | P.S. to reply .6 | POBOX::LEVIN | My kind of town, Chicago is | Tue Aug 15 1989 22:03 | 16 |
| Another way to look at it is to simply say a fiscal year starts
on whichever Sunday that falls on
June 28
June 29
June 30
July 01
July 02
July 03
or July 04
This, of course, is for official corporate fiscal year. If
you're trying to figure out the field sales year -- which shifted
a couple of years ago so that not everyone sent their last-minute
end-of-year orders on the same day -- then Good Luck!

| Maybe .16 works too, but there is a program in the
METOO::SW_TOOLS_CATALOG conference (note #676) that converts calendar
dates to fiscal dates. It has this comment in it:
