If functions new column Help

I have a column in a table with 7 discrete values and multiple rows. I am looking to create a new column that groups some of the discrete values to a new value called A, B, C 

 

So for example, column has "1,2,3,4,5,6,7" I want a new column using IF to say A if the values are 1,2 or 3 and B if its 5, C if its 6,7 

 

Thank you!

@Haidarius add a new column using following expression

 

New Column = 
VAR __value = Table[Column]
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE (),
   __value IN { 1, 2, 3 }, "A",
   __value = 5, "B", 
   __value IN { 6, 7 }, "C",
   "Other"  --this is catch all
)
