Can I code a loop in the forumula for a field?

Question

CA Forum: Formula
I've created a report for a client that calculates when an employee is eligible for a 401K plan.  There are only 4 dates possible per year.  The formula I've created is a multi-level if conditional, and only goes back 2 years.  Their plan has been in effect for over 10 years. 
Is there any way I can convert the following formula to some type of coded loop that increases the month # by 3 and the year # by 1 (but only for every forth loop)?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
if ( DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,1 ,1 ) - {UPR00100.BRTHDATE} >= 7665 and     DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,1 ,1 ) - {UPR00100.STRTDATE} >= 365 )
then DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,1 ,1 )
else
    if ( DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,4 ,1 ) - {UPR00100.BRTHDATE} >= 7665 and         DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,4 ,1 ) - {UPR00100.STRTDATE} >= 365 and         ({UPR00100.DEMPINAC} >= DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,4 ,1 ) or {UPR00100.DEMPINAC} = Date(1900,1,1)))
    then DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,4 ,1 )
    else
        if ( DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,7 ,1 ) - {UPR00100.BRTHDATE} >= 7665 and             DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,7 ,1 ) - {UPR00100.STRTDATE} >= 365 and             ({UPR00100.DEMPINAC} >= DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,7 ,1 ) or {UPR00100.DEMPINAC} = Date(1900,1,1)))
        then DateValue ({?Report Year}-1 ,7 ,1 )
        else

It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.
