>>It takes about 10 minutes to write this class. Most likely, some guys (you know names) already doing it now. I could do it to, if not leaving in 5 minutes.

How about using data driven aproach instead of coding it via class ?

Field      ValueToStore 
--------------------------------
RangeCode  QT1,LQT etc.
RangeDesc  First Quarter,LastQuarter etc
RangeFrom  FirstDayOfThePeriod
RangeTo    LatDay Of the Period

Then all combo has to do is choose between
range table records, while you pick them up and use as you are pleased.
If it is for generic previous, then all you have to do is figure out what is current week,qt or month according to current date and then look for one before that. Assuming that all periods likely to be searched are already stored in that table.

Additionally you can let user define/store for later use his own custom date ranges. Or maybe even store previosely used data ranges and share them between reports.

Just another way to skin the cat :)
