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
)
Switch-Case statement of #PowerBI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gelJWktlR80&list=PLPaNVDMhUXGaaqV92SBD5X2hk3TMNlHhb&index=56
