	I have the following formula, but if any of the fields are null then nothing is displayed. I tried using Coalesce, but got a formula error. Can you use Coalesce in crystal or do I need to do it another way ? {tblLEG_Civil.Civ_Title} + ' ' + {tblLEG_Civil.Civ_Firstnames}+' ' +{tblLEG_Civil.Civ_Surname}

	There is probably a more elegant solution but this will work. (if isnull({tblLEG_Civil.Civ_Title}) then '' else {tblLEG_Civil.Civ_Title} + ' ') + (if isnull({tblLEG_Civil.Civ_Firstnames}) then '' else {tblLEG_Civil.Civ_Firstnames} + ' ') + (if isnull({tblLEG_Civil.Civ_Surname}) then '' else {tblLEG_Civil.Civ_Surname})
