How do I do multiple CASE WHEN conditions using SQL Server 2008?

Question

What I\'m trying to do is use more than one CASE WHEN condition for the same column.

Here is my code for the query:

   SELECT   Url=\'\',

There are two formats of case expression. You can do CASE with many WHEN as;

CASE  WHEN Col1 = 1 OR Col3 = 1  THEN 1 
      WHEN Col1 = 2 THEN 2
      ...
      ELSE 0 END as Qty

Or a Simple CASE expression

CASE Col1 WHEN 1 THEN 11 WHEN 2 THEN 21 ELSE 13 END

Or CASE within CASE as;

CASE  WHEN Col1 < 2 THEN  
                    CASE Col2 WHEN 'X' THEN 10 ELSE 11 END
      WHEN Col1 = 2 THEN 2
      ...
      ELSE 0 END as Qty
