💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a number less than 1000 changes the category incorrectly.

Forgetting to use TRUE() as the first argument.

The SWITCH function checks conditions in order. Using TRUE() allows logical expressions. Here, Sales > 1000 returns 'High', else 'Low'.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 80 instead of 90 causes wrong categorization.

Placing conditions in wrong order.

The first condition checks if Score is 90 or more for 'Excellent'. The order matters to assign correct categories.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a number less than or equal to 10 causes overlap.

Using a number too high skips the medium category.

The medium level should cover quantities up to 20. Using 20 ensures correct ranges without overlap.

Fill both blanks to categorize Age into 'Child' (<=12), 'Teen' (<=19), or 'Adult'.

Power BI

AgeGroup = SWITCH(TRUE(), Age <= [1], "Child", Age <= [2], "Teen", "Adult")

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 18 instead of 19 excludes 19-year-olds from 'Teen'.

Swapping the blanks reverses categories.

Children are 12 or younger, teens up to 19, adults above. The blanks must reflect these age limits.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong codes swaps categories.

Not including a default value causes errors.

SWITCH matches ProductCode to 1='Electronics', 2='Clothing', else defaults to 'Other'.
