quarterly()

The quarterly() function returns a time-series array of values in a quarterly cadence.  It can only be applied to As Of, Per Day, Per Month, and Per Quarter metrics.

Note:  while allowed, the assignment of this function to a per quarter metric would have no effect since the per quarter metric would inherently be translating the values to the per quarter cadence.

When you reference a metric, it is immediately converted to the target metric cadence.  This function allows you to specify an intermediate cadence to convert to.

To clarify, for example, the As Of metric expression:

AsOf metric = sumif(Initiative__t,CAPEX_Daily__m,active)

assigns a daily value to the AsOf metric (resulting in an As Of change per day).

While:

AsOf metric = quarterly(sumif(Initiative__t,CAPEX_Daily__m,active))

assigns a quarterly value to the AsOf metric (resulting in an As Of change per quarter).
