Hi Adebusoye,

I understand the logic. The combination of categories created must have
been associated first with the data element. And there's actually the
possibility to enable or disable columns in section grey field... Thank
you, it makes it possible to handle this case. I guess it is not possible
to merge the two columns "sex" and that it is essential to choose a type of
sex for pregnant women in section grey field. I then added a third option
for sex category that I called "Sex Not Applicable" and repeated the same
procedure. Except that: 1) I disable "Sex Not Applicable" for < 5 Yrs and >
5 Yrs and 2) I disable "Male" and "Female" for Pregnant Women. I will see
what is the most obvious to use with data entry and data processing.

Jason is actually right : Pregnant women should not be counted in > 5 Yrs.
I'll pay attention to this.

Kind Regards,
Ilias
