Text | Text | Decimal Number | Text |

I want to write 9 - 10 If Else, so thinking to go with Switch. I get error text and number datatype not supported, use value or Format function for one of them
Example If Severity = 2 OR Severity = 3 && Time Spent > 10 , "flag"
If Severity = 3 && Time spent > 4 && Customer Reason!= "HW/SW","Flag","Good"
Solved! Go to Solution.
Since severity is a text column, you need to check it accordingly.
Try this as a calculated column:
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
Table1[Severity] IN { "2", "3" } && Table1[Time Spent] > 10, "flag",
Table1[Severity] = 3 && Table1[Time spent] > 4 && Table1[Customer Reason] <> "HW/SW", "Flag",
"Good"
)

"Good"
