Got it working as a switch! Here's the full query rendering to a markdown element:

```
filters
| essql 
  query="SELECT \"@timestamp\", \"monitor.status\" as status FROM \"heartbeat*\" WHERE QUERY('my_service') LIMIT 1"
| mapColumn value
  fn=${getCell status | switch 
    {case if={compare eq to="up"} then=Healthy}
    {case if={compare eq to="down"} then=Unhealthy}
    default="Unknown"
  }
| markdown "{{#each rows}}
# {{value}}
{{/each}}" 
  font={font family="'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size=18 align="left" color="#000000" weight="bold" underline=false italic=false}
| render containerStyle={containerStyle}

```

(not sure the `{{#each rows}}` etc is necessary, happy to take advice on that.

Also FYI I got the answer from this blog post: [Canvas Blog Stream](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/canvas-blog-stream/126823/29?u=rozling)
