Help with SWITCH Statement

Hi guys, 

Hope you can help. I am trying to use a switch statement to create categories labeled as "0-7 days" "8-30 days" and"30+ days".

However I keep recieving the following error code:

 

"DAX Comparison operations do not support comparing values of type true/false with values of type integer. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values".

I have attached a screenshot of the DAX and error message below:

I have checked the 'Days' Data type and it is formatted as a number. Any idea where I am going wrong and how to fix it?

 

Thanks in advance!

DRJ.

Hi @DRJ1994 ,

 

Please try this:-

 

length of sickness =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    'Sheet1 (2)'[Days] <= 7, "0-7 days",
    'Sheet1 (2)'[Days] >= 8
        && 'Sheet1 (2)'[Days] <= 30, "8-30 days",
    'Sheet1 (2)'[Days] > 30, "30+ days"
)
