New Switch Column

Hello,

Getting the following error and cant find a fix in similiar questions.

Function 'SWITCH' does not support comparing values of type True/False with values of type Text. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.

 

I'm attempeting to create a new column using Switch.

 
PastDue = SWITCH('Table1'[Column1]=0,"exclude",1,"exclude") - I need to continue this through 30 months.
 
Column1 is a calc column format 
Overdue Period = DATEDIFF('Tablex'[Received_DT], TODAY(),MONTH)
 
Column1 format is whole number. The new Column format to Text.
