Hi Riddy,

nope, a data element can only have one category combination. In your case
you can create two different data elements. The main problem with allowing
for different break-downs for the same data element is that data will be
ambiguous - say if you capture it some places by age and some places by
gender, then the total of male + female will not be the same as the grand
total (even though all people contributing to the number has a gender).
