sql case statement

I have one column with different values and would like to group them into 3 variables in a new column. For example, column A has (FG01, FN02, G09, FG12, FN30, G15). I would like to create a new column and in it I would want to see the following - FG, FN and G. Below is the case statement I have and it is yielding only two i.e. G and FN. 'GNMA/FHLMC' = CASE WHEN a.cCode LIKE '%G%' THEN 'G' WHEN a.cCode LIKE '%FG%' THEN 'FH' ELSE 'FN' END

You need to change the order of options because %G% includes %FG%. Try this: CASE WHEN a.cCode LIKE '%FG%' THEN 'FG' WHEN a.cCode LIKE '%G%' THEN 'G' ELSE 'FN' END
