Why each option
The Web Intelligence If() function evaluates a Boolean condition and supports nesting, but it operates within the Web Intelligence formula language rather than SQL.
The If() function cannot contain a SQL statement - Web Intelligence formula language is separate from the SQL generated against the data source, and embedding raw SQL inside a report formula is not supported.
Case expressions are a SQL construct and are not part of the Web Intelligence formula language - the If() function does not accept or process Case syntax.
The If() function requires a Boolean expression as its first argument - a condition that evaluates to true or false - which then determines which of the two result branches is returned.
If() statements can be nested inside one another to handle multiple conditional branches, allowing complex multi-case logic to be expressed within a single formula cell.
