The logic I am attempting to follow is:
If column 1 equals True then "Some Designation 1"
If column 2 equals True then "Some Designation 2"
If Column 3 equals "Some Value1" AND Column 4 equals 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 Then "Some Designation 3"
If Column 3 equals "Some Value2" AND Column 4 equals 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 Then "Some Designation 3"
Else "Undefined"
I cannot seem to get my SWITCH Correct:
Designation = SWITCH( TRUE(), 'Table'[column1] = True, "Some Designation 1", 'Table1'[Column2 = True, "Some Designation 2", 'Table1'[column3] = "Some Value 1" && 'Table1'[Column 4] = "1"|| 'Table1'[Column 4] = "2" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "3" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "4" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "5" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "6" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "7" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "8", "Some Designation 3", 'Table1'[column3] = "Some Value 2" && 'Table1'[Column 4] = "1"|| 'Table1'[Column 4] = "2" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "3" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "4" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "5" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "6" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "7" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "8", "Some Designation 3", "Undefined")
In the code below, the bolded part is operating incorrectly:
Designation = SWITCH( TRUE(), 'Table'[column1] = True, "Some Designation 1", 'Table1'[Column2 = True, "Some Designation 2", 'Table1'[column3] = "Some Value 1" && 'Table1'[Column 4] = "0050y00000BqlMYAAZ"|| 'Table1'[Column 4] = "0051A00000DDSCrQAP" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "00580000003E3aSAAS" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "005C0000003FsM6IAK" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "005C0000003FsMKIA0" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "005C0000003FsMRIA0" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "005C0000005zJ0DIAU" || 'Table1'[Column 4] = "005C00000062BkNIAU", "Some Designation 3" "Undefined")
Instead of checking both conditions: IF column 3 equals contains "this value" AND IF column 4 contains "one of these 8 values" then it should be labeled "Some designation 3"
It is checking if either of them are true.
if(x=1 AND (y = 1 OR 2 OR 3 etc...)) then z
Additionally, you can use IN
'Table1'[column3] = "Some Value 1" && 'Table1'[Column 4] in { "0050y00000BqlMYAAZ", "0051A00000DDSCrQAP" , "00580000003E3aSAAS" , "005C0000003FsM6IAK" , "005C0000003FsMKIA0" , "005C0000003FsMRIA0" , "005C0000005zJ0DIAU" , "005C00000062BkNIAU" }

As I said: you have to use parentheses. && and || have the same precedence, so A && B || C is calculated as (A && B) || C, not as A && (B || C).

Unfortunately I do not understand what you mean by "Use Parentheses." When I introduce parentheses into my code as if it is an order of operations defining statement the code errors out.
