How to use multiple tests in a switch statement

Question

Hi,I am working on a script that gets the CanonicalName for a device from a device and splits it up to determine the support region. I cannot figure out how to get multiple tests to work. If $splitCN[1] equals&nbsp;"Acapulco",&nbsp;"Cozumel",&nbsp;"Lazaro Cardenas",&nbsp;"Mexico City",&nbsp;"Pto Progresso",&nbsp;"Veracruz", $SupportRegion should equal Mexico. I have tried several variations but it doesn't work so far. I know this is possible in other languages but I'm not sure on the PowerShell syntax. How do I accomplish this?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;        "MEXICO.INT" {
            switch ($splitCN[1]) { 
                ("Acapulco","Cozumel","Lazaro Cardenas","Mexico City","Pto Progresso","Veracruz") {
                    $SupportRegion = "Mexico"
                    break
                }
           
                "Mazanillo" {
                    $SupportRegion = "ZLO"
                    break
                }
            
                "Tuxpan" {
                    $SupportRegion = "Tuxpan"
                    break
                }
            
            }
        }&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

You can use script blocks, for example:switch ("Cozumel") {     {$_ -in @("Acapulco","Cozumel","Lazaro Cardenas","Mexico City","Pto Progresso","Veracruz")} {        "Mexico"        break    }}   Refer to the documentation for more info/examples: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_switch?view=powershell-7.2
