Hi Tom,

regarding indicators we do produce the aggregated value if the numerator is
not existing or zero by default. The reason is that we often connect with
3rd party tools like Excel which will do their own aggregation based on
data e.g. on the lowest level.

If you prefer to omit indicators with zero numerators you can go to system
settings and set the "Omit indicator values with zero numerator value in
data mart" setting to true.

We of course ignore indicators where the denominator is not existing/zero
as it would be illegal to calculate.

Lars
