Images not displaying in image control

I have a gallery with an image control. I am displaying any one of 4 images depending on specific values in the gallery items. At the very least it should be displaying the dot. The properties ship, called and hit are all true/false.

Switch(ThisItem.Ship,

    true, If(ThisItem.Called && ThisItem.Hit, "Fire",
             ThisItem.Called && !ThisItem.Hit, "Radar",
             "BlueAnchor",
             
    false, "Dot")
    )

The images are uploaded to Power Apps. There are no errors in the switch statement, but no images are being displayed either. I have tried using the Image name with and without the .png at the end. This same switch statement works fine if I use an icon rather than an image.

Hi @JR-BejeweledOne

Firstly, you do not need quotes "" around the image names
Switch( ThisItem.Ship, true, If( ThisItem.Called && ThisItem.Hit, Fire, ThisItem.Called && !ThisItem.Hit, Radar, BlueAnchor ), false, Dot )

There was also a bracket in the wrong place

@WarrenBelz I was initially getting an error that it expected an image value. The quotes removed that error, but it appears that the other error was the whole problem. Here is the modified working formula. Note that I removed the 'true' value after ThisItem.Ship. ThisItem.Ship is already a true/false value and adding true gave another error.

@JR-BejeweledOne,

To be honest, I would get rid of the Switch
If( ThisItem.Ship, If( ThisItem.Called && ThisItem.Hit, Fire, ThisItem.Called && !ThisItem.Hit, Radar, BlueAnchor ), Dot )

@@WarrenBelz do you mind if I ask why? I would like to understand why you would prefer the If statement.

@JR-BejeweledOne,

Just because it is less complex in your case - I generally only bother with Switch when there are more than two possible results (which saves specifying the value multiple times) otherwise it is simply If/then/else.
