You could just do that in the query:

SELECT address1, nvl(address2, address3) address2, nvl2(address2, null, address3) address3

It won't once we've corrected the nvl2:

nvl2(address2, address3, NULL) address3

Expand the logic above to cope with all the cases, it's not that complicated.

Doesn't look like Reports to me (or it is something advanced that I never saw before. Something like MODEL clause. First time I saw it here, on OraFAQ Forum, I was sure it is not Oracle. I was very wrong).

skaundinya given the reply as, .rtf file normally used in Business Intelligence.
@ashokb21, Shall we move this to above forum?
Anyway if you want to handle that in sql, I think you can use 'coalesce'.

select coalesce(:1,:2,:3) from dual;
select coalesce(:2,:3) from dual;
select :3 from dual;

@skaundinya, But if I'm not wrong you will see a blank line in between. Don't you?
