Hi @AlterMini,

 

try this

 

IF ISNULL([Region Left ]) THEN [Region Right] ELSE [Region Left ] ENDIF

Hi @AlterMini 

 

Another way of doing it

 

IIF(!IsEmpty([Region Left]), [Region Left], [Region Right])

Thanks MarqueeCreq, Hammed and Atcodedog05

 

Suggestions from Marquee and Atcodedog05 works well. Still Region right is missing in Hameed formula.
