I have a dataframe below:



 df

ColA ColB ColC
NA BN 6
JH NA 8
NA rewr 9
NA NA 10


Expected Output:



 newdf

ColA ColB ColC New_Col
NA BN 6 BN
JH NA 8 JH
NA rewr 9 rewr
NA NA 10 NA


How do I do this using sqldf?



This was my attempt but it did not get the output I was looking for:



newdf<- sqldf("SELECT *, replace([ColA], NULL, [ColB]) [New_Col] from df")
