Hi Dan,
I do not think this is possible at the moment. Would be good though to hear
from the developers about this. For the national DHIS2 instance in Zambia,
we have developed custom reports which factor in the startdate/enddate of
the facility to determine whether or not they should contribute to
reporting completeness. However, this means that the start dates and end
dates must be maintained /populated correctly. This approach would not take
into account situations (mentioned for instance by Nick from the Solomons
on the list a week or so ago) when a facility may report on an infrequent
basis.

What you want would seem to require some sort of external analysis. You
could extract out the reporting completeness figures, but then run this
through an extra data set which would contain information on the dates
which you expect the facility to report.  Not really sure there is really
any way to get this out of the system at the moment though, unless you were
to create yet another dataset "Expected reports" and then have a Yes/No
data element to record whether or not you actually expect a report for a
given facility for a given dataset. Sounds messy.

Regards,
Jason
