Power Query Custom Function with IF statement

Iron Contributor

I made the custom function below in Power query, but results are not what I expect. If I put in 0.1 I get 50 instead of 0, for instance. Must be some stupid mistake or misunderstanding on my part, can anyone tell me what's wrong?

(vGrowth as number) => 
if vGrowth > 1 then 100 
else if vGrowth > 0.5 then 50 
else if vGrowth > 0.2 then 20 
else if vGrowth > -0.2 then 0 
else if vGrowth > -0.5 then -20 
else if vGrowth > -1 then -50 
else -100

function is

(vGrowth as number) =>
let result = 
    if vGrowth > 1 then 100 
    else if vGrowth > 0.5 then 50 
    else if vGrowth > 0.2 then 20 
    else if vGrowth > -0.2 then 0 
    else if vGrowth > -0.5 then -20 
    else if vGrowth > -1 then -50 
    else -100
in result
Yes, it does for me now too, very odd. Should've taken a screenshot. When I invoked the function, I got strange results. Thanks for looking into it...
