DAX: Making a new column by replacing one columns blanks with another columns values.

Hi all 

 

I would like to create a new coulmn based if column A is blank it will return a date from coulmn B. If column A has a date it will return itself. 

So for example I should get a result like this:

A B C
01/01/2022 31/12/2021 01/01/2022
  02/01/2022 02/01/2022
  03/01/2022 03/01/2022
04/01/2022 03/02/2022 04/01/2022
  04/02/2022 04/02/2022
  05/02/2022 05/02/2022
  06/02/2022 06/02/2022
22/05/2022 07/02/2022 22/05/2022

Thanks!

Yes! Thank you, I didn't think it would be that easy. I was over complicating it.
