Try something like this (off the top of my head... ==untested!)

  =choose(month(<datevalue reference>),"Q1","Q1","Q1","Q2","Q2","Q2",.. etc)

assuming the <datevalue reference> is a cell were the dates are entered as
a datevalue  (hmmm.. that sure sounds like doubletalk to me..)

Place this formula in a row and then set the row height on the row containing
the original datevalue info to 0.

Hope this works...
