Is there a coalesce function for other types?

You can use identity to try an narrow the type after replacing, although in this case you’ll only get Real as there are Int and Float in the vector:

julia> identity.(replace(a, ([NaN, missing, ""] .=> 0.0)...))
5-element Vector{Real}:
 0.0
 0.0
 0.0
 2
 3.0
