Expression error: The name 'SWITCH' wasn't recognized. Make sure it's spelled correctly.
Hi I am trying to create a custom column on “Time Column” using Switch. Format of Time Column-"10:30:00 AM". Desired Output : If Time is between “08:30:00 AM” and “10:30:00 AM" then “Peak Hours”...

Ahhhh, that's the problem. Switch is a DAX formula, but you are trying to use it in Power Query, which uses the Power Query Formula Language (PQL)

MattAllington Oh... I did not know that. Thanks for your help. I added a new column in Table Format it worked :)
This is what i used :
Column = SWITCH(TRUE(),
AND([EventTime]>=TIMEVALUE("09:30:00 AM"), [EventTime]<=TIMEVALUE("10:00:00 AM")), "Peak Hours",
"Non Peak Hours"
)
