Often, in financial applications, the quarter end date is very important for financial calculations. The following function gets the end date of a Financial Quarter that is relative to the date value passed. For example, suppose you are passing “12-Apr-2004” as the Date. The corresponding quarter end date returned will be “30-Jun-2004.”
public static Date getFinancialQuarterEndDate(Date date) { Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(); calendar.setTime(date); int factor = 0; int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH); if (month == Calendar.JANUARY || month == Calendar.APRIL || month == Calendar.JULY || month == Calendar.OCTOBER) { factor = 2; } else if ( month == Calendar.FEBRUARY || month == Calendar.MAY || month == Calendar.AUGUST || month == Calendar.NOVEMBER) { factor = 1; } else { factor = 0; } calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, factor); calendar.set(Calendar.DATE, calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE)); return calendar.getTime();}//-----------------------------------------
