I am beginning to think what I'm trying to achieve is not possible within DHIS2 without using the API and creating custom reports, please correct me if I'm wrong.

  1.  I want a cumulative quarterly target for certain data elements.  I want to base the target on the previous year's performance (per OU).  In the example below, the values there are based on the previous year's actual values (possibly + 5% or another suitable figure):

  1.  I want to compare the cumulative target values for the above period with the cumulative actual values for the same period...

...to produce the final output showing the percentage of target achieved for the cumulative number of visits:

[cid:image006.jpg@01D3C6CE.12ACE640]

I am thinking that for 1) we may need to create a new data element and record the cumulative values manually (or import).  For the final result, I'm not sure, given that we're expecting a comparison of cumulative figures, how doable it is without a custom report and the API.  Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

Subject: [Dhis2-users] Indicator based on previous year's output

What's the best approach to creating an indicator that's based on a cumulative total of a data element captured monthly, for a set timeframe?

E.g. I have an indicator called "Number of patients" captured monthly.
I need an indicator that will give me the total number of patients for the set period October 2016 - September 2017.

Thanks in advance!
