Agree with Lars, that this is something better accomplished with a script.
I have outlined a similar approach
her<http://dhis2.net/dhis2RIntegration/index.html#24>e
for projection of population data from year to year (in your case, there is
no projection). The example is not totally complete, but there are other
examples in this presentation and the main documentation about how to
interface a scripting language like R with DHIS2. This would also be quite
simple to achieve with an SQL script, which could be executed at the
appropriate time periods directly on the database.

Regards,
Jason
