Re: Combination of categories: 3 having a level 1, and 2 of 3 having a level 2

 

Hi Ilias,

1) You create two data element categories (I assume you have already created data element category options). For instance

	a) Age/Pregnancy (< 5 Yrs; > 5 Yrs and Pregnant Women)
	b) Sex ( Male Female)

2) You create a category combination e.g. Malaria Age/Pregnancy + Sex. 

	a)Select Age/Pregnancy Category (this should be on top)
	b) select Sex Category

3) Create data set sections (you can have a look at the manual for this if you are not familiar with it)
	a) At this stage you Pregnancy Column will also have Male/Female designations
	b) Use the Section Grey Field Management option to disable the Male column from Pregnancy.

If you are still unclear about how to go about any of the steps, I will be happy to help clarify. 

Regards,

Busoye
