A quick fix to my frustration if with this blueprint takes too long would be
to allow for multiple selection when designing indicator formulas.
E.g. select all the DE+catoptioncombos you need in the list at the same time
and then the formula will automatically lists these with a '+' between each
item.

All the clicking on each and every DE+catoptioncombos and '+' just drives me
cracy when I have 24 catoptioncombos that I need to add together per data
element to get to the total (which is simply the name of the data element).

Another added value of supporting totals and subtotals would be that the
indicator formulas actually become readable, which is not the case when you
list 24 DE+catoptioncombos after each other.
