Querry assistance in sql

Question

SELECT
CASE WHEN e.EA_STATUS IN ('E4', 'U4', 'P5', '02', '03', '04') and t.TRANS_GROUP IN ('3500', '9100')
THEN 1 -- PROJECT
WHEN e.EA_STATUS NOT IN ('E4', 'U4', 'P5', '02', '03', '04') and t.TRANS_GROUP IN ('3500')
THEN 2 -- NON PROJECT
ELSE 0 -- UNKNOWN
END AS EXPENDITURE_GROUP_SK
FROM dbo.STG_FMTMPROD_V_EA_STATUS AS e
inner join dbo.STG_FMTMPROD_V_TRANS_GROUP as t
on e.STATUS = t.STATUS
This is a querry I am working on.Do you know how I can convert the 0,1, and 2 to be treturned as string so I can have the project , non-project and unknown  aa my option rather than the numbers.
Thanks.

What exactly did you try? The query suggested by Prashanth should work just fine and return the column as varchar.
