Issue with Formating string

Hi!, I am using different measures in my report, but for some reasons this SWITCH() has problem, or more the logic is wrong.
For some reason, Power BI recognised my [Sales Amount] value as it should be bigger than 1,000,000, but in reality it is 331,289.
In the below you can find code, visualisation, and tooltip for this column that show bad result.

@Anonymous , for this selected measure, better to use field parameters

 

and for formatting use "Dynamic Format Strings" for each one
