Hi, 
The order of condition is not appropriate, in the first condition if [#"Date 1"] = null  is true, it result in  [#"Date 2"] which might be null also, so revise the formula as follow

if [#"Date 1"] = null and [#"Date 2"] = null

then [#"Date 3"] else if [#"Date 1"] = null then [#"Date 2"]

else 0

You can also use the following magical writing method:

[#"Date 1"] ?? [#"Date 2"] ?? [#"Date 3"] ?? 0
