    Hi

    How to do this?

    Without seeing the code you have already written which would help to describe your problem, it would have to be a guess. Something like

    UPDATE MyTable SET

    column1 = CASE WHEN AnotherColumn = 1 THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'No' END,

    column2 = CASE WHEN AnotherColumn = 2 THEN 23 ELSE NULL END
