And is it possible to use switch function with text?

Answer 1

You can make a new column, like this:

Column = SWITCH('Table'[Sales rate]; "high"; "red"; "medium"; "yellow"; "low"; "green")

Then right click each of the fields in Visualizations pane and select Conditional formatting -> Background color :

Format it by Field value , based on the column made, with First summarization, and you will get the highlighting you want:
