DAX not working

[sy898661]

Hi!

I have a color-change DAX written but there is something wrong (probably with the syntax or whatever).

This is my code:

Planner Type Number = 
    VAR PlannerCodeType = SELECTEDVALUE('Query1'[Planner Code])
    RETURN

    SWITCH(TRUE(),
        PlannerCodeType = “***_FGI”, 1,

...etc

but it is saying it cannot "find" the ***_FGI code. (or any of the other codes I put in)

Here is a snip of the planner code column in which the ***_FGI is clearly right there! why cant it find it, am I typing this wrong or missing something??

So I ended up just creating a new column and then conditional formatting by that colunm. My code recognized the names this time. I also think I was having issues because I had originally copied the code from a word doc instead of typing straight into PBI. For reference:

Planner Code Color Change = 
    IF('Query'[Planner Code] = "***_FGI", "#5292f2",

@sy898661 what you are trying to achieve? Are you adding a measure?
