    MrKwanorama ,
    Is this your expectation?

    Probable revenue = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    'Tablename'[Probability] = "10% - StageA", 0.1*'Tablename'[Estimated revenue],
    'Tablename'[Probability] = "30% - StageB", 0.3*'Tablename'[Estimated revenue],

    BLANK()
)

    Thanks,

    Hi sorry - accepted too soon. 

    Gives me:

    Function 'SWITCH' does not support comparing values of type True/False with values of type number. 

     

    I have the Estimated Revenue as Decimal Number and Probability as Text.

    Any suggestion?
