replace cell value with conditional value and multiply to output value

Hello all,
I am new to power bi and need help with a calculation.

I have three columns: "Anzahl Lieferanten", "Anzahl Hersteller" and "Zeit bis EOL" (in days). Now I want to assign a value from 1-3 to each of the values in the columns if they are greater or less than certain values. the resulting values I then want to multiply.
I have thought of something like this:

Of course, it doesn't work that way. Maybe someone can help me? Thanks in advance!

Hello @weberna ,

The issue is with the syntax of the switch statement.

Obsoleszenzwahrscheinlichkeit =

var Lieferantenrisiko =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
Inventory[Anzahl Lieferanten] = 1, 3,
Inventory[Anzahl Lieferanten] > 1 && Inventory[Anzahl Lieferanten] < 4, 2,
Inventory[Anzahl Lieferanten] > 3, 1
)


var Herstellerrisiko =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
Inventory[Anzahl Hersteller] = 1, 3,
Inventory[Anzahl Hersteller] > 1 && Inventory[Anzahl Hersteller] < 4, 2,
Inventory[Anzahl Hersteller] > 3, 1
)

var EOLRisiko =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
Inventory[Zeit bis EOL] < 365, 1,
Inventory[Zeit bis EOL] >= 365 && Inventory[Zeit bis EOL] <= 730, 2,
Inventory[Zeit bis EOL] > 730, 3
)

var result =
(2 * Lieferantenrisiko) * Herstellerrisiko * EOLRisiko

Return
result
 

Kind regards,

Rohit

Hi @weberna 
You missed the (   )  after TRUE ( ) in the first variable. Also delete the (  " "  ) from around the numbers. Eg. write 1 not "1"
