Hi @Anonymous ,

Two examples for correctly using SWITCH():

Measure1 = SWITCH ( MAX ( 'Table'[Value] ), 100, "Red", 200, "Green", 300, "Blue" )

Or

Measure2 =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    MAX ( 'Table'[Name] ) < 100, "Red",
    MAX ( 'Table'[Name] ) > 100
        && MAX ( 'Table'[Name] ) < 200, "Green",
    MAX ( 'Table'[Name] ) > 200
        && MAX ( 'Table'[Name] ) < 300, "Blue"
)

So in your case, please follow @BA_Pete 's suggestion by add a TRUE() parameter in SWITCH() syntax;

Or since there is only one condition, you could use IF() instread:

Option 4 =
VAR TodayDate = TODAY()
RETURN
IF(
  MONTH(TodayDate)=12
  && DATEDIFF(DST_tbl_DeploymentPhaseDates[StartDate],TODAY(),WEEK) IN GENERATESERIES(-8,0)
  && DATEDIFF(DST_tbl_DeploymentPhaseDates[StartDate],TODAY(),WEEK) IN GENERATESERIES(-5,0),
  1,
  0
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try this instead:

Option 4 =
VAR TodayDate = TODAY()
RETURN
SWITCH(
  TRUE(),
  MONTH(TodayDate)=12
  && DATEDIFF(DST_tbl_DeploymentPhaseDates[StartDate],TODAY(),WEEK) IN GENERATESERIES(-8,0)
  && DATEDIFF(DST_tbl_DeploymentPhaseDates[StartDate],TODAY(),WEEK) IN GENERATESERIES(-5,0),
  1,
  0
)
