Re: Populating data from Excel to DHIS2 Data Entry Web Form with Internet Explorer

 

You may also want to consider just making the HTTP request, instead of
working with the form itself

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/301102/how-to-make-a-get-request-by-using-visual-basic--net-or-visual-basic-2

The DHIS2 dataValue API is documented in here
<https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/developer/html/webapi_data_values.html>
in "Section 1.19.7. Sending, reading and deleting individual data values"
