Missing values in calculating indicators

 

I see that when indicators are calculated, records where either the numerator or denominator is missing are not excluded. For me this would be ideal default behavior so that the indicator isn't thrown wildly off by assuming no reporting is the same as reporting 0. I could imagine some times when one would want an unreported numerator to be treated as 0 (if it's likely that it isn't reported, because it doesn't exist), so maybe an option to override default in the indicator definition screen would be good. I can't think of a scenario where one would want missing denominators to be treated as 0.



I don't know if others are running into this, or if it's only me. If there is a way to set this already let me know.



Thanks,

Tom
