Variable not evaluating inside switch statement, individual calculation is working fine.

Hello When i combine Variables with Switch statement it doesn’t work. But instead of variables I write entire calculation it work perfectly.
Below are 2 scenario of my measure, The first scenario doesn’t work if i use variable, but second work perfectly if i don't use variables. (The Dark Grey Bar's are the one causing issue)
Can anyone please help what i am doing wrong in first scenario.

scenario 1 (Incorrect) :-

 

Total_workforce_FLC EURO(M/Y-1) =
Var FirstSUm = CALCULATE(SUM(MOR_Data[Current month Fully Loaded Costs Euro]),MOR_Data[STATUS] <> "Contingent",SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date]))
Var SecondSum = CALCULATE(SUM(MOR_Data[Current month Fully Loaded Costs Euro]),MOR_Data[STATUS] = "Contingent",SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date]))
return
if(HASONEVALUE('Axis_Table'[Type]),
SWITCH(VALUES(Axis_Table[Type])
,"Year",CALCULATE(FirstSUm +
SecondSum
,TREATAS(VALUES('Axis_Table'[Values])
,'Calendar'[Year_Cal]))
,"Month",CALCULATE(FirstSUm +
SecondSum
,TREATAs(VALUES('Axis_Table'[Values])
,'Calendar'[MonthYear_Cal]))
,"Quarter",CALCULATE(FirstSUm +
SecondSum
,TREATAs(VALUES('Axis_Table'[Values])
,'Calendar'[Quater-Year]))
)
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

Test Measure2 = 
CALCULATE (
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( MOR_Data[Current month Fully Loaded Costs Euro] ),
        SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
    ),
    FILTER (
        'Calendar',
        CONTAINS (
            VALUES ( Axis_Table[Values] ),
            Axis_Table[Values], SWITCH (
                SELECTEDVALUE ( Axis_Table[Type]),
                "Year", 'Calendar'[Year_Cal],
                "Quarter", 'Calendar'[Quater-Year],
                "Month", 'Calendar'[MonthYear_Cal]
            )

Hi @Anonymous ,

I'd like to suggest you use in operator to replace TREATAS function, it also works to compare unrelated fields and list of values:

Total_workforce_FLC EURO(M/Y-1)2 = 
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Axis_Table'[Type] ),
    CALCULATE (
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( MOR_Data[Current month Fully Loaded Costs Euro] ),
            SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
        ),
        FILTER (
            'Calendar',
            SWITCH (
                SELECTEDVALUE ( Axis_Table[Type] ),
                "Year", 'Calendar'[Year_Cal] IN VALUES ( 'Axis_Table'[Values] ),
                "Month", 'Calendar'[MonthYear_Cal] IN VALUES ( 'Axis_Table'[Values] ),
                "Quarter", 'Calendar'[Quater-Year] IN VALUES ( 'Axis_Table'[Values] )
            )
        )
    )
)
