"Error: Syntax error. Missing ')' for Case Statement in formula

I've created a text formula field, but I've been hitting a wall with the CASE portion of the formula: I keep getting the "Error: Syntax error. Missing ')'" message. Here's what I created:

I tried this in a workflow field update. Everything seems to be in order, but I cannot figure out what's missing. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I would suggest check syntax first by adding few value .And then add value part by part with checking syntax.

Thanks!

Hi Athira,

Comma is missing in below line. Just add the comma in end.
"LF",    "Linear Feet",
"LG",    "Log"         /// Comma is missing here 
"LP",    "Potent Liters",

It should be like below:
"LF",    "Linear Feet",
"LG",    "Log",
"LP",    "Potent Liters",

Thanks,
