Check if an Activity Date is in the current quarter

Hello,

I have to write a if statement that will check if the ActivityDate on a task is in the current quarter.  Does anyone have a quick trick on how I can do that?  I figure it has to be a pretty common formula.

If you are looking for non-apex based solution then follow below article-

If you need this in apex; you can try using period object. Below query gives you a start date and end date- 
Date startDate = [Select startdate From Period Where type = 'Quarter' and StartDate = THIS_FISCAL_QUARTER].startdate;
Date endDate = [Select enddate From Period Where type = 'Quarter' and StartDate = THIS_FISCAL_QUARTER].enddate;
then use if statement to check- 
if(ActivityDate > startDate && ActivityDate < endDate){
//your code here
}

Let me know if it works.
