We have 3 columns of email addresses(student, home and work) in the report I need

case 1-sometimes column 1 or 2 might be empty, then I  need 3rd email.
case 2- sometimes column 1 or 3 might be empty then I nedd 2nd email.
case 3-sometimes 1,2 or 1,3 or 2,3 columns are empty then I need the available one
case 4--- if all 3 columns have data , then I need all email adresses.
 
Can anyone help? I tried using isnull but I do not get if 2 columns are empty.

How are you displaying the addresses?  One long string or multiple entries? 
If one long string, in the report you could have a shared variable and you can add to the shared variable with ISNULL for each column in question.
Hope this helps.

database has three different columns and I need all in one column separated with a comma. I used the isnull but am not getting the email address if there are 2 empty fields.
Thanks

no prob.  variables to the rescue...
could use something like:
local stringvar emails := "";
 
if not isnull({table.email1}) then emails := emails + {table.email1};
if not isnull({table.email2}) then
  if emails = "" then
    emails := emails + {table.email2}
  else
    emails := emails + ", " + {table.email2};
if not isnull({table.email3}) then
  if emails = "" then
    emails := emails + {table.email3}
  else
    emails := emails + ", " + {table.email3};
 
emails
 
hope this helps
