Merge two dates
Hi,
Is it possible to merge two different date fields into one?
I want to merge the Project_startdate and Project_upgradedate as one field. Below is an example:
Project_startDate | Project_upgradedate | Projects |
10/14/2020 | 10/14/2020 | 34 |
10/15/2020 | 10/20/2020 | 50 |
10/16/2020 | 60 | |
10/17/2020 | 50 | |
10/18/2020 | 50 | |
10/19/2020 | 50 |
Thanks in advance

Yes. You can do this in Magic ETL or in a beast mode. You would use the Set Column Value tile in the ETL. Here's a link to how to use it: https://knowledge.domo.com/Prepare/Magic_Transforms/ETL_DataFlows/04ETL_Actions%3A_Edit_Data#Set_Column_Value
In a Beast Mode, you would use the IFNULL function like this:
IFNULL('Project_upgradedate','Project_startdate')
This would use the project_upgradedate field if it is there. Otherwise, it would use the project_startdate field.

If you have Magic 1.0 you split your data into 2 parts. Where where Col B is NULL and Col B IS NOT NULL (use FILTER tiles) then you can use SET COLUMN tile or I use SELECT and just choose the column I want to keep.
If you're on the Magic 2.0 beta you can use a Formula tile and use IFNULL as Mark recommended.In MySQL you can use a COALESCE function.
