Re: Org Unit count

 

The formula (using functional water) is;-

(Number of health facilities with functioning water at the facility / Number of health facilities in the catchment area) * 100

Okay, but what does your indicator denominator look like? Can you post the exact formula? 

 

There is no such thing as a general org unit count - you can insert the count of org units within a group into the formula.

Hi Lars,

 

I am not using an org unit group. The hierarchy of my instance is as follows:- MoH, Zone, District, Health Facility. Now for this particular indicator which is supposed to calculate the percentage of health facilities that have a functional water supply or  a functional communication system or electricity (each of these is its own indicator), there are data elements reporting the number of health facilities with either water or communication or electricity. These data elements would serve as the numerators. For the denominator, I need to be able to retrieve the number of health facilities in that particular district. So what I am doing is actually selecting the district, but the result I am getting is always with an extra 1 added to it.

Hi Mugeni,

 

here is a guess: You need to use a group for your indicator which contains facilities only, not facilities and districts. I suspect you are using an org unit group which contains the districts as well.

Hi Alex,

 

Yes, it seems to be doing that. Is that by design or is it a bug?

Dear Harold,

 

Sounds like it counts the root/parent organisation unit.

Hallo everyone,

 

I am working on some indicators that require number of org units under a given org unit e.g. number of health facilities under a district. I am using the org unit count under the indicator numerator or denominator section, but I have noticed that the count returned is always with an extra one i.e. where I expect 22 facilities, it is giving me 23. Is this a bug or something to do with the hierarchy?

 

Thank you,

Harold
