Hi Guys, in one of my model I have this computed column. How can I optimize the code to improve performance?

Thanks a lot, but how can I use the switch function to replace nested IF?
@Marcox28 , You switch and Use OR
example
Switch(True(),
containsstraing('FactTable'[Code],"[CT]") || containsstraing('FactTable'[Code],"[CA]" ),"GPS",
//Add others
)
