Is those are database values/ drop list values?

if they all database values, read the selected string in drop down selected value event and concatenate or format the string how you need, and display

Hi,

Check this....

SQL

Select ISNULL(COUNTRY,'') + '->' + ISNULL(STATE,'') + '->' + ISNULL(CITY,'') As Addr from your table

or

SQL

Select 
CASE WHEN ISNULL(COUNTRY,'')='' THEN '' ELSE COUNTRY END  + 
CASE WHEN ISNULL(STATE,'')='' THEN '' ELSE + '->' + STATE  END + 
CASE WHEN ISNULL(CITY,'')='' THEN '' ELSE + '->' + CITY END 
As Addr from your table

Hope this will help you.

Cheers

Not workoing as required..It is displayinh -> where there are Nulls

Isnull() should work. Can you give me some sample data and output?

Magic Wonder 6-Jul-15 1:50am

Oh!!! Well isnull(City,'') will replace null with blank(''). So if you want to replace it with some default value you can use ISNULL(CITY,'DELHI').
