Essentially I have three fields and I am creating a new one which is the three combined making a mailable address; problem being some fields contain null values and adding myString to a null just produces a null in sql.

So this is my code, can anyone make it any cleaner? It's still looking pretty butch!

  UPDATE [mydb].[dbo].[Account]
  SET [Billing Street] = CASE
  WHEN [(Billing Address 1)] is null and [(Billing Address 2)] is null THEN [(Billing Address 3)]
  WHEN [(Billing Address 1)] is null and [(Billing Address 3)] is null THEN [(Billing Address 2)]
  WHEN [(Billing Address 2)] is null and [(Billing Address 3)] is null THEN [(Billing Address 1)]
  WHEN [(Billing Address 1)] is null THEN [(Billing Address 2)] + ' ' + [(Billing Address 3)]
  WHEN [(Billing Address 2)] is null THEN [(Billing Address 1)] + ' ' + [(Billing Address 3)]
  WHEN [(Billing Address 3)] is null THEN [(Billing Address 1)] + ' ' + [(Billing Address 2)]
  ELSE [(Billing Address 1)] + ' ' + [(Billing Address 2)] + ' ' + [(Billing Address 3)]
  END
