Hi all,
I am creating a calculated column, and given it requires more than 2 conditions, using the SWITCH / TRUE structure. This new column is in Table1, which has no relation with Table2 and Table3.
The code goes like this:
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
Table1[Class] in VALUES(Table2[Class]), LOOKUPVALUE(Table3[Date], Table3[Index],Table1[Index]),
<value2>, “Result2”,
“Else”
)
However, I keep getting the "Expressions that yield variant data-type cannot be used to define calculated columns" error message. I've tried the code, testing it part by part, and found that:
Does anyone have any idea of what may be causing the error message? Thanks very much in advance.

@alisson_vilela , this error come when return two different datatype in switch/if else
like text and number
in such case convert number to text by using [Value] & "" or format to text. or return blank in place of text
