While working with DsExcel templates, some cells are displayed as blank in the final Excel report when they have no data or empty value in data source. To handle such cases, DsExcel provides ‘defaultValue’ (DV) property which sets the specified default value in template cells containing data fields. The specified default value for cells containing no data or empty value in data source can be viewed in the final Excel report.
| Property | Data Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| DV (defaultValue) | String or Number | The default value to show when there is no data in data source. |
{{ds.BaseAmount(C=B7*C6, defaultValue = 0)}} {{ds.BaseAmount(C=C15*D14, defaultValue = "-")}} |
The below template is created to maintain E-commerce sales of electronic goods and their revenues in different areas of a country. The 'ds.Revenue' field will display default value when no data is present in data source. You can also download the Excel template layout used in below example.
When the template is processed, the default values are displayed in the final Excel report as shown below:
