Enterprise Ed: How to replace null or empty number value with 0 - in VF

I'm getting a syntax error.  Sorry, I know this post is a bit old but the only discussion about this topic.  I want to replace a null value with $0.  Here is my line of code:

<td><apex:outputField value="{! IF(OR(ISNULL(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c) ,ISBLANK(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c)), 0, ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c }"/></td>

I'm apparently adding an extra comma somewhere but have no clue where.....??

Error: Syntax error. Extra ','

Disregard comment about old post, I was going to tag along on another post & decided not to.

Missed a ")" near the end:

<td><apex:outputField value="{! IF(OR(ISNULL(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c) ,ISBLANK(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c)), 0, ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c) }"/></td>

Thanks, Kevin.  I added that ) in and am still getting the "Extra , Syntax"

I think the error is because you're trying to display a zero in outputField, you need to change it to this:

<td><apex:outputText rendered="{!ISBLANK(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c)}">0</outputText><apex:outputField value="{!ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c}" rendered="{!NOT(ISBLANK(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c))}"/></td>

You don't need to check for ISNULL, it's covered by ISBLANK.

Hi Sarah,

We can't use output field for custom value. We need to use only when we are using filed either custom or standard.

So,

as suggested by  kevin its should be like this

<td><apex:outputText value="{! IF(OR(ISNULL(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c) ,ISBLANK(Image_Upload__c.Name)), 0, ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c) }"/></td>

OR

<td><apex:outputText value="{! 0}" rendered="{!OR(ISNULL(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c) ,ISBLANK(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c))}"/></td>

<td><apex:outputField value="{! ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c}" rendered="{!OR(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c!=NULL ,ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c!='')}"/></td>


Thanks

Hi Kevin and Praveen, here is the code that worked:

<td><apex:outputText value="{!IF(ISBLANK(ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c),'$0',ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c)}"/></td>

Hi Sarah,

What is the data type of the ACT_ROF__c.Additional_Profits__c field? That field may not be displayed correctly in the user's locale format if you use outputText.
