SSRS date default with formula disables parameter - date

When I set a default value formula for a date parameter in SSRS, such as:
=CDate(”01/” & Month(Now) & “/” & Year(Now))
or even:
=Now
the date parameter control becomes disabled with nothing in it. Does anyone know what simple thing (I am sure) I am doing wrong?

After playing some more, I realized that the date controls became enabled when I picked a value from a preceding dropdown parameter that did not have a default. Apparently, controls after non-default parameters are disabled until you pick something, so order matters.
From an MDSN article:
"parameter order is important when you want to show users the default value for one parameter before they choose values for other parameters"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281392.aspx

I experienced the same and the problems lies on the USER ID parameter that I set to internal visibility but without any default value. When I put in default value or set this to null, the date parameter was enabled.. (User ID parameter comes before the date parameter on my case)

Now is a function and you must use like =Now()
maybe it is your problem.

Vue Element UI - Default el-input-number to empty field instead of a number

Creating a form with no values and would like the input field to default to empty for two reasons:
Want users to be able to see the placeholder text.
Having a default number means the users can ignore the field by default. (I know I can validate the field, but that is just a bad user experience.)
The problem:
el-input-number fields default to a number (0 or whatever the :min value is set to).
This covers up the placeholder text.
The users can click save with the default number still in place. (I will validate, but don't want users to have to submit a bad value to know what to do.)
Does anyone know how to make the input field have the default value be just empty?
just give it a default value of undefined

TCA configuration: Value of field should be copied to translated record

I am adding a field to the pages table (is a relation to a file) and would like the value of the field in the pages record to be copied to the translated record by default.
Currently, the copied field is empty (default value), which is probably a good idea in most cases.
I am thinking of something that behaves like l10n_mode = prefixLangTitle without the prefix.
Depending on the TYPO3 version this should be possible with one of the following behaviours for the inline field:
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/7.6/Reference/Columns/Inline/Index.html#behaviour
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/8.7/ColumnsConfig/Type/Inline.html#localizechildrenatparentlocalization
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/latest/ColumnsConfig/Type/Inline.html#allowlanguagesynchronization
Sine the localizeChildrenWithParentLocalization feature is broken with pages and pages_language_overlay though, I guess the only working versions would be CMS 8 or 9 with properly configured language synchronization.
https://forge.typo3.org/issues/78743
Use
['behaviour']['allowLanguageSynchronization'] => true
if the translated record will use the value from the default field by
default (will effectively be copied), but it should be possible to change
this later.
See pages.author as example.
When "Custom value" is selected, the value can be overridden.
Alternativively, use
l10n_mode = exclude
if the field should always have the value of the default language and you
should not be able to change it in the translated record.

Formatting a string in jaspersoft?

In my report I have a string field with some numeric value, for example 123102,6. I would like to display 123 102,60 in my report.
Formatting numbers is a bugger in Java in general but gets even trickier with Jasper.
If your report works with a Locale that provides the space as the number group separator (like, for example, Locale.FRANCE does), then all you need to do is specify #,##0.00 as the value of the Pattern property of your field.
If that is not the case, or you are using several Locales, or you are resolving them at runtime, then the simplest way to solve your problem is to provide this:
new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00", DecimalFormatSymbols.getInstance(Locale.FRANCE))
.format(Double.valueOf($F{your_field_name}))
as the value of the Text Field Expression property of your field.

Parameter Field issue

I am having a problem with one of my parameter fields. I have YES to show all the results with yes on, and NO for all of those with no on, on other parameter fields if i leave the field as "..." it will show both yes and no. I don't seem to be able to select "..." as a default value. When i click "..." in the parameter field no results are shown.
please see the below screenshots relevant to this column:

If you require any more information, please ask.
thank you,
'...' isn't a value that can be set. It is what is displayed when a value hasn't been chosen.
You can either:
make it an optional parameter; see Conditionally prompting for optional parameters
make it a multi-select parameter and look for the presence of one or the other or both
In both cases, it would be easier for you if you used a Boolean parameter rather than a String.

JasperReports: default value instead of 'null'

Is there any way to set a default value to a field in a report? I have a lot of String fields in a report and would like them to display "0,00" when they're null.
Supposing the field name is "value", in the "Text Field Expression", write:
($F{value} != null) ? $F{value} : "0.00"
You can also select "Blank when null" in the properties of the text field if you want that. Other options are more flexible but this does the trick very quick and easy.
medopal's answer is good, but 2 additions:
1) You can make the syntax shorter:
($F{field_name}) ? $F{field_name} : "0.00"
2) Make sure your "else" data is of the same class as the field's value, otherwise you'll get errors when it tries to coerce numbers into string, etc. etc. This was something that, as I started out, I mixed up.
Did you try set a pattern in the text field?
If you are using iReport this can be found in the properties for the text field in the Text Field Properties section.
Try something along the lines of ###0.00 to represent 1234.56, which would always display 0.00 even if it is null.
This is the easiest way is to use Coalesce() or NVL() function of database in your data-source query to restrict null data on your report.
But it depends on if you are allowed to change the datasource query or not. If not then you can go for other solutions provided in previous answers.
