Can you have an IF statement in a text box.
 
e.g.
 
Formulas @ABC, @CDE, @FGH
 
If database field = "y" then
@ABC
@CDE
@FGH
else
"There are no data to report etc.."
 
or can this be done in a formula and if so what would the syntax be?

you can conditionally suppress fields placed in the text box or you can create a new formula field to do what you desire
 
If {table.field}= "y" then
{@ABC} + chr(13)
{@CDE} + chr(13)
else
"There are no data to report etc.."
