Hi Robin,

You can simply use an indicator to do this.

In case you have not seen it, we have extensive documentation on the use of
indicators here

https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch13.html#indicator_maintenance

It should also be possible to calculate the value from other data, not
contained in the data entry form, IF it exists for the same orgunit and
period.

Best regards,
Jason
