I have a header table and a reporting table
(In Header table)If the product code selected is "health"
then In reporting table
ID should populate as H1
( In header table) If the product code is "Dental"
then in reporting table ID should populate as D2
If the next time its Dental again then reporting should show D3
If Health then in reporting - H4.
How should I implement this using Case statement? Is there a better way?

It is pretty hard to give clear advice because there are not enough details. In order to help we will need a few things:
1. Sample DDL in the form of CREATE TABLE statements
2. Sample data in the form of INSERT INTO statements
3. Expected results based on the sample data
Please take a few minutes and read the first article in my signature for best practices when posting questions.

This ALSO sounds like a conduit type report structure and I strongly urge you to find another method. Conduit reporting does not perform well as it's a generic structure used for multiple purposes.
