Hi Georgi,

try this:

- collect "Number of beds" as a yearly data value.
- set the aggregation type for the "Number of beds" data element to
"Average (sum in org unit hierarchy".

In indicators, when aggregating for a month, the analytics engine will use
the "standing" value for each month based on the yearly value for the
denominator.

regards,

Lars
