Hi Martin,

It seems like your frequency is 6 monthly in which case you can set up a
dataset with that frequency or any other you choose and then create a csv
import file with all your facilities in, currect period, data element and
value (just copy the same value for every facility and import. Keep the csv
and every frequency you need to just change the period and value and
possibly check you dont have new reporting units and import the same file.

You can create similar xml or json imports but csv seems easier.

Maybe this could work for you?
