Coalesce 1+ Fields to a New Field

Source: R/coalesce_.R

(Deprecated) This is 1 of 2 coalesce functions. This one takes fields that are not the same as the proposed new column name. For example, a dataframe with fields "A", "B", and "C" can be coalesced into a field "D". If all the values need to be coalesced into an existing field such as "A", "B", and "C" to "A", use coalesce_at function instead.

coalesce_to(data, col, ..., remove = FALSE)

Arguments

data

A dataframe or tibble.
col

Target column.
...

Other columns in addition to `col` that will be coalesced in the correct order of precedence.
remove

Should columns supplied in `...` be removed in the output?
