You can’t evaluate a greater than or less than in a switch function. A workaround as per [this thread](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/expression-language-switch-upgrade/549/5) is to use binEnum like this:

```auto
switch(
  binEnum({Brac Tags/Analog_In/PET_150}=1,
          {Brac Tags/Analog_In/PET_150}>50,
          {Brac Tags/Analog_In/PET_150}<25),
1,2,3,
'color(217,0,0)', //result 1 
'color(217,217,0)', //result 2 
'color(0,0,0)', //result 3 
'none') //default

```

The manual page for Switch is [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/switch).
