If I am understanding correctly, the "same" person gave a not so good answer, but then came back later and replied with the correct answer?

In that case, I would say you can choose it as best answer.
When you select best answer, you can comment on the answer by saying something like "The original answer was not very good, but your reply was good"

On the other hand, if someone else replied and gave a good answer, I would not mark it as best (use "no best answer"). This has happened to me and the person giving the good answer didn't care about being selected (otherwise they would have made an answer, not a comment).

• Very helpful, thank you, I did as you suggested.

This is a good time to select "No best Answer." By doing this, you are saying that none of the answers to your question were satisfactory.

Been there, done that.

I agree with Brian, If someone gives an answer you don't like but then comes back in the same thread and leaves a good answer, you can pick their answer for the best one, just leave a note saying the reply was great!

If someone else gives a good answer in a reply then you can pick no best answer, if you want to give him a tip you can do it privately.

Hope this makes sense!
