HI Joe,
You cannot use Validation rule to auto populate the value, instead use Workflow and Field update event to populate the weekly value reason field. Once the record is saved, the weekly value reason field will get updated through Workflow.

Yeah exactly you cannot use validation rule for that instead you can use workflow with field update .
So that after saving even if you dont put any value in weekly value reason field it will autopopulate.
But I think what you want is before saving when you select some value greater than 0 in weekly value field ,you want to see some default values in weekly value reason,which in case if you want can change .
Is that what you want ?
