Hi I have the following dataset
What I would like to do is to capture min two date time values, if missing use whichever one is available
ID | first_stop_date_time | second_stop_date_time |
1234 | 01FEB20:21:56:00 | 01FEB2020:13:15:00 |
4567 | 02FEB20:15:09:00 | 03FEB2020:05:12:00 |
8910 | 21FEB20:00:00:00 |
New dataset
ID | first_stop_date_time | second_stop_date_time | min_stop_date_time |
1234 | 01FEB20:21:56:00 | 01FEB2020:13:15:00 | 01FEB2020:13:15:00 |
4567 | 02FEB20:15:09:00 | 03FEB2020:05:12:00 | 02FEB20:15:09:00 |
8910 | 21FEB20:00:00:00 | 21FEB20:00:00:00 |
The only way I can think of is transpose and combine into one date field and then use min. Was wondering if there is another easier way
