error in DAX formula when segmenting production poor mes

Good afternoon

I have this DAX formula to segment production by month:

MesF = SWITCH( TRUE(),
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,1,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,2,21), "February2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,2,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,3,21), "March 2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,3,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,4,21), "April 2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,4,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,5,21), "May2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,5,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,6,21), "June2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,6,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,7,21), "July2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,7,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,8,21), "August 2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,8,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,9,21), "September 2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,9,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,10,21), "October 2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,10,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,11,21), "November2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,11,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2023,12,21), "December 2023",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2023,12,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2024,1,21), "January2024",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2024,1,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2024,2,21), "February2024",
Table1[DATE] > DATE(2024,2,20& Tabla1 < DATE(2024,3,21), "March2024",
"Out of Range")
But it gives me the following error:
The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value.
Thank you in advance for any help

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

 

You can modify your formula like below:

MesF =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    MAX ( Table1[DATE] ) > DATE ( 2023, 1, 20 )
        && MAX ( Table1[DATE] ) < DATE ( 2023, 2, 21 ), "February2023",
    MAX ( Table1[DATE] ) > DATE ( 2023, 2, 20 )
        && MAX ( Table1[DATE] ) < DATE ( 2023, 3, 21 ), "March 2023",
    "Out of Range"
)

Hi,

Just create a Calendar Table with calculated column formulas for Year, Month name and Month number.  Sort the Month name by the Month number.  Create a relationship from the Date column of Table1 to the Date column of the Calendar Table.

I already saw the error, after publishing the post. The condition of minor referred to the entire table1 and had to be dated.

Thank you
