Right, so as Lars indicates, the likely cause of this is because your
district and facilities are part of the same organization unit group.  Can
you confirm this is not the case? This is a very common mistake, and has
been brought up

Also, you should probably not calculate the percentage directly in the
indicator formula, but rather use an indicator type of "Percentage" and let
DHIS2 perform the calculation to percentage for you.


Regards,

Jason
