A calculated Column where fields are defined by a number in a different field

Hi all!

I'm new to the forums so I'm not sure if this kind of task has been adressed before.

 

I'm trying to create a column where the fields are given a status' depening on how many days it took for a ticket to be resolved (Each ticket corresponds to one row).
In PBI desktop I have created a calculated column based of two date columns (Submitted and resolved) which produces a number.
I want to have a new column where the field is defined by that number.
I'm hoping to end up with a table with a table that looks something like this:

 

Status201620172018
Same Day142
1  to 43512
5  to 10565
More Than 11653

 

(I'm aiming to use the matrix visual}

my formular looks like this and im not sure how far off the mark I am with the syntax

 

column =
(
IF([IvantiToCompletionDaysColumn]= (1<) , "Same Day", 0)
IF([IvantiToCompletionDaysColumn] = (1 <=> 4) ,"1 to 4", 0)
IF([IvantiToCompletionDaysColumn] = (5 <=> 10) ,"5 to 10", 0)
IF([IvantiToCompletionDaysColumn] > 11 ,"11+", 0)
)


Any help with this would be mightly appreciated

 

Cheers

Try this:

 

Category = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    [Days]<1, "Same Day",
    [Days]>=1 && [Days]<=4,"1 to 4",
    [Days]>=5 && [Days]<=10,"5 to 10",
    [Days]>=11,"11+"
)

[Days] would be your column of how many days open.
