SQL Getting a value from a column where another value is MIN value

Time:09-28

I am not that experienced in SQL and I am trying to get a value from a row where another value is the min value. I tried several things and can't find the answer on this forum.

My SQL:

select  
   Name, 
   MIN(StartDateAndTime) as StartTime,
   MAX(EndDateAndTime) as EndTime
from   tblWorkingTimes 
group by Name, 
         convert(date, StartDateAndTime)

So I have a table with all actions a driver has done during the day (Driving, resting, loading,...) and I want to make a summary per day. Each action also gives a StartPositionText and EndPositionText. (Example "ThisStreet 666, 9999 City")

The above SQL works but i want to add a StartPositionText and EndPositionText. So i need to get StartPositionText from row where w.StartDateAndTime = MIN(w.StartDateAndTime) and EndPositionText from row where w.EndDateAndTime = Max(w.EndDateAndTime). I tried a SELECT but I can't have MIN(w.StartDateAndTime) in a WHERE clause and I can't get it to work with a HAVING clause.

EDIT: sample data tblWorkingTimes

Name StartDateAndTime EndDateAndTime StartText EndText
Jim 2021-09-09 07:28:16 2021-09-09 08:28:16 "StartPlace1" "EndPlace1"
Jim 2021-09-09 08:28:16 2021-09-09 09:28:16 "StartPlace2" "EndPlace2"
Jim 2021-09-09 09:28:16 2021-09-09 10:28:16 "StartPlace3" "EndPlace3"
Jim 2021-09-09 10:28:16 2021-09-09 11:28:16 "StartPlace4" "EndPlace4"

Desired output

Name StartDateAndTime EndDateAndTime StartText EndText
Jim 2021-09-09 07:28:16 2021-09-09 11:28:16 "StartPlace1" "EndPlace4"

Thanks in advance

You can use FIRST_VALUE and LAST_VALUE for this

select  
   w.DriverName, 
   convert(date, w.StartDateAndTime) as DayPerformed,
   MIN(w.StartDateAndTime) as StartTime,
   MAX(w.EndDateAndTime) as EndTime
   StartPositionText,
   EndPositionText
from (
    SELECT *,
      StartPositionText = FIRST_VALUE(StartPositionText) OVER (PARTITION BY w.DriverName, convert(date, w.StartDateAndTime)
            ORDER BY w.StartDateAndTime ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING),
      EndPositionText   = LAST_VALUE(EndPositionText) OVER (PARTITION BY w.DriverName, convert(date, w.StartDateAndTime)
            ORDER BY w.StartDateAndTime ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING)
    FROM webfleet.tblWorkingTimes w
) w
group by w.DriverName, 
         convert(date, w.StartDateAndTime),
         StartPositionText,
         EndPositionText;

Similar FISRT_VALUE and LAST_VALUE solution as Charlieface's however a little more straightforward. Added the CAST of the Start and End date as date to the partition by, cleaned up using multiple dates.

DECLARE @t1 TABLE (Driver VARCHAR(50), StartDateTime DATETIME, EndDateTime DATETIME, StartPlace VARCHAR(20), EndPlace VARCHAR(20))

INSERT INTO @t1
VALUES
('Jim','2021-09-09 07:28:16','2021-09-09 08:28:16','    "StartPlace1"','    "EndPlace1"'),
