Column1 = SWITCH(True(),[ID] = "FH20-10","YES",[ID] = "FA30-10","YES",[ID] = "FA60-20","YES","NO")
I am trying to create a caluclated column named "Column1" and is getting this error :
Function 'SWITCH' does not support comparing values of type Text with values of type True/False. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

It seems your column [ID] returns a nontext value and you are comparing with text. You can convert to the text value and do the SWTICHCH like
Column1 =
VAR X = FORMAT([ID],"@") RETURN
SWITCH(True(),
X = "FH20-10","YES",
X = "FA30-10","YES",
X = "FA60-20","YES",
"NO"
)
