how to generate quarters with formulas in Excel

Please see attached file.

i have the cells with green background that are my start dates and end dates.  the cells highlighted in yellow are the quarters which i generate manually.  can there be a formula that when i copy to other cells, it generates those quarters for me, instead of all this manual work.  there has to be a better way with formula, but i could not find anything in google.

any help is appreciated.
