Dear Antonio,

Check out this video on importing data into DHIS2 using CSV. Its very easy.
However, you will need to ensure you have your data in the format that
DHIS2 accepts.

Also check out the developers mannual on the recommended formats to import
data into DHIS2. Check out the chapter on importing.

Kind regards

Timothy
