    I’ve just used something like this:-

    Declare @SQL nvarchar(max), @Params nvarchar(max)
set @Params = N''
Set @SQL = N'SELECT ' + Cast(@SomeNumber as varchar) + ' CASE WHERE 0 THEN TOP 5 COLUMNNAME
                        ELSE COLUMNNAME
                   END
FROM TABLE'

exec sp_executesql @SQL, @Params
