Hi Knut,

thank you for replying.
I haven't try to use events. I already see in demo, it seems useful. But I
am not sure how to create events for my data since I do not record the
date, only month and year. If this is the case, can I still use events?

Another issue, I asked this in different subject but no one reply to it.
What is the best way to count data value? I have several data elements
which the value need to be counted. I tried several things but none of them
works.

Thank you for your kind help.

Best regards,
Karina.
