    It turns out there was a measure floating around within the same table that contained similar code as my calculated column. I must have started to create it on accident as a measure and never removed it after the column was created. I'm still not sure why it didn't present a problem with previous data refreshes. Here is the code, it looks like I just removed the name at some point leaving a rouge return statement:

    Var DaysOverdue = today() - Documents[periodic_review_due_date]

    Return

    SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    DaysOverdue <= 30 && DaysOverdue >= 1, "0 to 30",
    DaysOverdue <= 60 && DaysOverdue >= 31, "31 to 60",
    DaysOverdue <= 90 && DaysOverdue >= 61, "61 to 90",
    DaysOverdue >= 91, "X > 90",
    BLANK()
     
    )
