conditional SQL insert

Asked by samsation in MS SQL Server, MS SQL DTS

Tags: sql server 2000

I'm wondering if there's a way in SQL to transform the data that is transferred to a new table based on what data is found in a field of the source table.   In other words in the example below, if Custom_Source_Field contains "A6", I want to insert "Allowance 6 weeks" (instead of A6) into Custom_Target_Field.  If the source table contains "A9", I want to insert "Allowance 9 weeks" into the target table, etc.   Thanks for any help for this newbie question.

SELECT  Product_ID, Name, SKU, Custom_Target_Field   
FROM  dbo.vwProductsUpdate
