Hi Sudhir, 
   You will need to learn a two formulas.. CASE and MONTH

Create a TEXT formula and add this:
  
CASE(MONTH(dateVariable),
  1,'Q1',
  2,'Q1',
  3,'Q1',
  4,'Q2',
  5,'Q2',
  6,'Q2',
  7,'Q3',
  8,'Q3',
  9,'Q3',
  10,'Q4',
  11,'Q4',
  12,'Q4',
   ''
​)

If this code helps, please mark as best response.

May the force.com be with you...
