2       |           | 

3       |           | 

         | 4        |
         | 5        |
         | 6        |

    if [Col 1] <> null and [Col 1] <> "" then [Col 1]
    else if [Col 2] <> null and [Col 2] <> "" then [Col 2]
    else [Col 3]

     

     

    DAX formula

    NewColumn =
    IF(
    NOT(ISBLANK([Col 1])),
    [Col 1],
    IF(
    NOT(ISBLANK([Col 2])),
    [Col 2],
    [Col 3]
    )
    )
