Multiple IF statements inside switch case

[Anonymous]

I have multiple statements that i need to validate for "category" column.
I have written this DAX but i am getting an error "Switch doesnot support comparing values of type boolean with text ,consider using value or format to convert one of the values"
Category =

var cat_raw = 'Data'[Category_Raw]

var new = SWITCH (

TRUE (),

IF(AND('Data'[Facility] starts with "AB",OR('Data'[Payer] contains ="XXXX",

'Data'[Payer] contains = "XYXY")), "XContainer","XService"),

IF(AND('Data'[Facility] = "BC",OR('Data'[Type]="YYYY",

'Data'[Type]="YXYX")), "YContainer",cat_raw),

IF(AND('Data'[Facility] = "CD",'Data'[Type]="CDCD"),

"DContainer", cat_raw),

cat_raw

)

return new

Can you explain with a short sample table, so we can understand the code.

1) Let me see the actual code.

2) Check that none of the columns you are comparing to text are of type boolean

Hi @Anonymous 

the first part has random non-DAX code like "starts with". For the secodn part, you'd need something like this. You'll probably have to adapt it a bit but you'll get the idea.

Category =
VAR cat_raw = 'Data'[Category_Raw]
VAR new =
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        AND (
            'Data'[Facility] = "BC",
            OR ( 'Data'[Type] = "YYYY", 'Data'[Type] = "YXYX" )
        ), "YContainer",
        AND ( 'Data'[Facility] = "CD", 'Data'[Type] = "CDCD" ), "DContainer",
        cat_raw
    )
RETURN
    new

 Look at the syntax of SWITCH to understand well how it works

Sorry about the non dax part, it was for my understanding which i will do it later , to search and to use contain in dax query .So for the time being i am using "=" only , and i also tried removing the IF statements and i am still getting the same error
