Help me create Calculated Column

I have a column containing items like A,B,C,D.
I would like to create a calculated column evaluating the following question: If the row of this column is equal to "A" then return 100%, If the row of this column is equal to "B" then return 85% ,
the row of this column is equal to "C" then return 65%, the row of this column is equal to "D" then return 50%. is it possible to do that ?

Column = 
SWITCH(
	'Table'[Item Column],
	"A", 1,
	"B", 0.85,
	"C", 0.65,
	"D", 0.5
)

 


And then, format this column as percentage

THANKS So much !
Now is there any way for me to assign these values to specific texts, if I have a character set and want to filter a part of the text of the line does it also work?
