use_first_valid_of.RdAt each position of the input vectors, iterates through in order and returns the first non-NA value. This is a robust replacement of the common ifelse(!is.na(x), x, ifelse(!is.na(y), y, z)). It's more readable and handles problems like ifelse's inability to work with dates in this way.
use_first_valid_of(..., if_all_NA = NA)
| ... | the input vectors. Order matters: these are searched and prioritized in the order they are supplied. |
|---|---|
| if_all_NA | what value should be used when all of the vectors return |
Returns a single vector with the selected values.
Deprecated, do not use in new code. Use dplyr::coalesce() instead.
