How to get a column value when the rest is null or blank?

Hi,

 

I have 5 columns that I am trying to make into 1. Each row should basically contain the same data but that data can be placed anywhere in Columns 1-5. For example, if row 1 has its value in column 4 then the rest of the columns should be null or blank. My current formula works until column 3 only (not sure why). Any idea?

 

Sample:

Col 1Col 2Col 3Col 4Col 5Expectation
a  a a
 b   b
   c c
 dd dd
  e  e

 

My Formula:

if isnull ([col 1]) then [col 2]

elseif isnull ([col 1]) and isnull ([col 2]) then [col 3]

elseif isnull ([col 1]) and isnull ([col 2])  and isnull ([col 3]) then [col 4]

elseif isnull ([col 1]) and isnull ([col 2])  and isnull ([col 3]) and isnull ([col 4]) then [col 5]

 

else [col 1]

endif

 

Thank you.
