I doubt this is it....but there's a COALESCE....that will return the first non-null...

COALESCE( Col1, Col2 , Col3, Col4, 'default')

That's the equivalent of...

case when Col1 is not null then Col1
when Col2 is not null then Col2
when Col3 is not null then Col3
when Col4 is not null then Col4
else 'default' end

Again, I doubt that's it, but it's the only one off the top of my head. Maybe someone either has a better memory, or can interpret your dream :)
