Currently the only allowed types for a calculated property are number, boolean, string, and date. The string is useful recent addition but it unfortunately doesn’t allow for the same functionnality in reports, filters, or workflows as sropdown or multi-select properties do. I suggest using the dropdown select proprty UI to create an enumerated “Output type” and let the formula decide which of the defined options gets returned.

So surprised this functionality isn’t available yet - this is a massive need for us

@JeannieN - do you think you could look at this?  
It would be so incredibly useful.

Many thanks,
