Hi Jason,

I'm not sure if indicators can do the trick as:


1.       They're not usable in data entry forms for tracked data;

2.       They're not usable for further indicator calculation when used in data entry forms for aggregated data. (It is not possible to use indicators in the calculation of other indicators.)

Can you confirm?

Kind regards,

Robin

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

Dear all,

Does anyone know if there's a way to have auto-calculated fields in data entry forms? This auto-calculated field would then be available for further reporting and indicator calculation (i.e. it is a data element calculated based on other data elements in the same entry form).

Actually, if it would be possible to calculate data elements based on other data elements outside of a data form, that would be great too (but if I remember well this is currently not possible).

Thanks for any ideas,

Robin
