Hi Gerald,

For making formulae with constants, you can just enter these figures in 
the texbox "Formula" in the numerator and denominator boxes of the 
indicators.

More here, info on constants at the bottom:

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

I would not put something like expected pregnancies as a constant 
though, but rather as a data element. Then the indicator using that data 
element in the formula would be valid for all organization units you 
have the number of expected pregnancies for. If you only have the 
national figure, it would still be better to make a data element rather 
than a constant, as you would get missing figures for districts or lower 
rather than very wrong indicator values. Typically you would have a 
"population figures" dataset with such figures (age group populations, 
expected pregnancies, etc), set for annual data "collection" (in most 
cases meaning calculation based on previous estimates/census and growth 
rates).
