If it is as simple as presented, you can do:

	[if-loop-data transactions b_address2]
                [loop-data transactions b_address2]
	[else]
	    [if-loop-data transactions address2]
                [loop-data transactions address2]
	    [/if-loop-data]
	[/else]
	[/if-loop-data]
		
The advantage of this over [calc] or the like is efficiency -- it is
much faster and uses many fewer resources.
