Dear Barnabas,

Thanks a lot for your response. In the end what we were doing is not exactly what you were saying (no Category combinations). So after checking with a couple of colleagues here we realized that this was not a possibility and so we are not merging the data elements in the production environment.


Kind regards,

Subject: Re: [Dhis2-devs] Filtering indicators by OU

Hello Jaime,

If I understand you correctly, you have three Data Elements that are all disaggregation of a particular Data Element X.
Your initial design was that you created each of the DEs (A, B, C) as individual Data Elements.
My understanding is that you merged them by creating a Category combination with a Data Dimension Type "Disaggregation" A, B and C as options and assigned to the Element Called X. If that is the case, during data entry, the system will disaggregate the Data Element X into X(A), X(B) and X(C).
If you have gone this way, your analysis won't be an issue.

Please verify and confirm if this is similar to what you want.

Regards

Hello and thanks for the quick response... it seems it might have not been really clear.


I will try to put an example.

We had 3 Data Elements (A,B and C) that have been merged in one (let's call it X). The reason they have been merged is because A,B and C belong to a Medical Service called Nutrition and as they could be filtered later by that service (Nutrition A, Nutrition B and Nutrition C) it simplified the data input and analysis.


So, for example, now in the OU Nutrition A people will fill the Data Element X. And when doing the analysis they will select Data Element X filtered by service Nutrition A. Same for B and Same for C.


These three indicators were used before separately in several indicators, sometimes we needed A+B+C/100. In those cases we don't need to do anything as they have already been merged and we can use X/100.


However, and here is the issue. We have realized that when calculating Deaths, the only valid deaths are those coming from Nutrition A and Nutrition B. So before, we would have the indicator Nutrition A + Nutrition B.


Ideally, I would like to be able to create an indicator where Data Elements can be filtered, so I could create an indicator like X (Nutrition A) + X (Nutrition B).


If this is not possible it obliges me to keep the old model with A, B and C separated instead of the X. I hope it is clear... I will happily provide more information if requested.

Thanks,

Hello Jaime,

Could you be more detailed? Let's understand your implementation (eg. of DEs).

Good afternoon. First email to the list looking for some help...


We are revising our data model and we have come out with a simplification on the number of Data Elements. For example, before we were using three Data Elements that we have realized they can be joined and then filtered by Organisation Unit when doing the analysis.


This works wonder in data analysis, however we have realized that this will not work for the indicators as there is no possible way of filtering by OU in the indicators. Am I correct? Is there a way that this could be done somehow?


Thanks a lot,
