SWITCH not recognised

Hi  guys, I have written a formula with a SWITCH to add a custom column.

POWER BI  says it doesnt recognise the SWITCH command.

Why   can I write a formula in    the text box  but  M doesnt recognise  it?

Where should  i write it    then?

very frustrated

SWITCH is a DAX function and not Power Query Function.... thus you cant use it there
