    "There must be a better way, like :
    TEST =
    OR(SWITCH(
           TRUE(),
            SessionDetails[ReferredById]<>(1073,39050,440190,231049) 0,
            SessionDetails[User1Id] IN {1028,383575,93233,1013,259006,274202,361428,1011,262816} ||
        SessionDetails[User2Id] IN {1028,383575,93233,1013,259006,274202,361428,1011,262816}, 1,
            0)"
     
    Try
     
    TEST =
    SWITCH(
           TRUE(),
            NOT ( SessionDetails[ReferredById] IN { 1073,39050,440190,231049 } ), 0,
            SessionDetails[User1Id] IN {1028,383575,93233,1013,259006,274202,361428,1011,262816} ||
        SessionDetails[User2Id] IN {1028,383575,93233,1013,259006,274202,361428,1011,262816}, 1,

I have a template i use for adding a switch with muliple criteria 

 

you can replace the && with a || to get an or statment. and just use as many colunms as is needed 

test_Switch = SWITCH(TRUE(),
([Column1]=1 && [Column2]=2 && [Column3]=1 && Table1[Column4]=1), "option 1",
([Column1]=1 && [Column2]=4 && [Column3]=2 && Table1[Column4]=4), "option 2",
([Column1]=2 && [Column2]=5 && [Column3]=5 && Table1[Column4]=5), "option 3",
([Column1]=2 && [Column2]=8 && [Column3]=4 && Table1[Column4]=8),"option 4",
([Column1]=3 && [Column2]=7 && [Column3]=8 && Table1[Column4]=5), "option 5",
"option Default"
)


 
this is how i would attapt it for your needs
 
test_Switch = SWITCH(TRUE(),
(NOT Table1[Column4] in {1073,39050,440190,231049}), "Refered by Id option",
([Column1] in {1028,383575,93233,1013,259006,274202,361428,1011,262816} || [Column2] in {1028,383575,93233,1013,259006,274202,361428,1011,262816}), "option 1",
"option Default"
)
 
just match this to your colunms and add the out oputs you require

      Are you able to give some sample data showing the data you have and your desired outcome 

       

      If you have a PBIX file that i could down load i can try and impliment this for you

        Give back a TRUE if ReferredID equals 1 of the 4 desired ID's and if the match with 1 of the UserID's...

        If ReferredByID equals 1073 OR 440190 OR 39050 OR 28536 

        AND UserID equals 1028 OR 383575 OR 93233 OR 1013 then TRUE

         

        else will give back FALSE everytime.
