can someone suggest a shorter code that does the same?
CASE
WHEN {location} LIKE '%00' OR {location} LIKE '%010' OR {location} LIKE '%011' OR {location} LIKE '%012' OR {location} LIKE '%013' THEN '1'
WHEN {location} LIKE '%38' OR {location} LIKE '%039' OR {location} LIKE '%040' OR {location} LIKE '%041' OR {location} LIKE '%042' OR {location} LIKE '%043' OR {location} LIKE '%044' OR {location} LIKE '%046' OR {location} LIKE '%047' THEN '2'
ELSE '3'
END
instead fo several OR you could try using between range
CASE when substr({location}, -2) ='00'
or cast(substr({location}, -2)) AS UNSIGNED )between 10 and 13 then '1'
when cast(substr({location}, -2)) AS UNSIGNED) between 38 and 47 then '2'
else '3'
end
