    Posted: 19 Sep 2007 at 4:53pm
I have 3 fields. In order of priority they are RetirementDate, BuyoutDate, and LeaseEndDate.  For every record the possibility exists that RetirementDate and BuyoutDate are null.  I have been unable to figure out the proper syntax for an if then formula that says
 
if RetirementDate & BuyoutDate are null then LeaseEndDate else
if RetirementDate is null then BuyoutDate else
RetirementDate
 
All help greatly appreciated

You have to nest the If statements, something like this: 
If IsNull({table.RetirementDate}) then
  if IsNull({table.BuyoutDate}) then
    {table.LeaseEndDate}
  else
    {table.BuyoutDate}
else
  {table.RetirementDate}
