I created the following nested case query but it shows error "incorrect syntax near the keyword case'


select  date, (case when qty1 <> 0 Then 'xyz'
		case when qty2 <> 0 Then 'abc'
		case when qty3 <> 0 Then 'mnt'
		case when qty4 <> 0 Then 'ved' else 0 
		end end end end) as neworganisation from tbltable

it should be this


select  date, case when qty1 <> 0 Then 'xyz'
		when qty2 <> 0 Then 'abc'
		when qty3 <> 0 Then 'mnt'
		when qty4 <> 0 Then 'ved' 
                else 0 
		end as neworganisation 
from tbltable
