Hi Jennifer

In order to do this you should create two program indicators.

1. Count events with the yes responses
2. Count the total events

You can then make a combined indicator in the maintenance indicator app
using these two program indicators.

To do this choose 'programs' followed by program indicators when you select
the numerator/denominator

Hello all, I am trying to create an indicator that is the proportion of
entities that replied “yes” on a Boolean data element in a dataset. (Number
replying yes divided by total number responding).



I have searched high and low in the DHIS2 user’s guide, but find nothing to
help me construct what should be a pretty basic indicator.



I have specified the Indicator type as “percentage”, the numerator as
#{UID}==1 and the denominator as #{UID}>=0,  (replacing “UID” with the
actual UID of course)  and I KNOW there are both 1s and 0s in the data
element in question, but the result is always “0”.



Also, I thought one could use an indicator as the basis for another
indicator, but am unable to see “indicator” among the choice of items when
creating numerators and denominators…



PS, I have also tried +(#{UID}==1)  and #{UID}==”TRUE”  as the numerator,
but the result is the same… Evidently filters do not work in aggregate
indicator construction? Or do they?



Could you enlighten me as to what I may be doing wrong, and ideally, point
me to the elegant obvious solution?



Much obliged,
