    Don't put the number in between inverted commas.

     

    i.e.

     

    Column = SWITCH('Fact WaitingroomInsights'[Time],0,"On Time",2,"Delayed",-4,"Earlier than planned",8,"Other")

     

     

    Note:

    1) Only put text in between inverted commas.

    2) If this doesn't work, make sure your the Time column's data type is Whole Number by going to Edit Queries.
