But when i add a new calculation

CASE checks one or more BOOLEAN expressions (the when bit) and returns one or more values as appropriate (the then / else bit).

this:
then ARRA1585.Contractor Name=null


Is a BOOLEAN expression. Case can not return Booleans.

I suspect that it should be just this:
then null
