How are you attempting to clean these codes? What is the business logic you’re needing to replicate?

When you have multiple items to clean, you will have one case statement and multiple when statements, like this:
case when Right(`Entry Store`,5) = 'PTO"}' then 'PTO' when Right(`Entry Store`,5) = 'VAC"}' then 'VAC' when Right(`Entry Store`,5) = 'SIC"}' then 'SICK' when Right(`Entry Store`,3) = 'OTH' then 'OTHER' end
you can vary what you are evaluating on as well. In the last when statement, for example, I am just looking at the last 3 character of the field. I could also look at a totally different field if I wanted. You can also add an ELSE statement just before end to deal with any scenarios you didn't account for, like this
case when Right(`Entry Store`,5) = 'PTO"}' then 'PTO' when Right(`Entry Store`,5) = 'VAC"}' then 'VAC' when Right(`Entry Store`,5) = 'SIC"}' then 'SICK' when Right(`Entry Store`,3) = 'OTH' then 'OTHER' else `Entry Store` end

I am extracting the words PTO from a long line of code. with the below beast mode:
case when Right(`Entry Store`,5) = 'PTO"}' then 'PTO' end
that cleans the PTO code however, when I try using the same beast mode approach as above and add more lines for other codes such as hourly I am getting a syntax error.
