Hi @ashmitp869 - you can create a new column using SWITCH function as below:

ExpenseCategory =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Expenses'[ExpenseCode] IN {"TAC", "TAF", "TAI", "TAT", "TCA", "TEA"}, "Travel & Accomodation",
'Expenses'[ExpenseCode] IN {"SRT", "SSA", "SSC", "SSD", "STC", "SWS"}, "SubContractor",
"Other"
)

Hope it works
