Thanks for the input. I'll have a look at jQuery then! Regards,

Is jquery available inside data entry form on the fly or has to link it separately to outside library.

In fact I'm a medical doctor and have limited knowledhe in Javascript. I managed to get it done with following javascript I created. height enterd in cm and weight in kg. <script type="text/javascript"> function updateBMI() { var ht = document.getElementById("HeightID-val").value; var wt = document.getElementById("WeightID-val").value; if(ht!="" && wt!=""){ var bmi = wt/(ht*ht/10000); bmi = +bmi.toFixed(2); }else{ var bmi ="Enter Height and Weight"; } var inputbmi= document.getElementById("BMI-ID-val"); inputbmi.value = bmi; } updateBMI(); </script> It serves the purpose it seems.

For example, if we have a data entry form (BMI) for a program stage if we have height and weight input boxes/data elements is there a way to calculate BMI? is it only possible by using javascript/webapp On Mon, Sep 1, 2014 at 10:21 PM, Ngoc Thanh Nguyen <thanh.hispviet...@gmail.com<mailto:thanh.hispviet...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi I believe the calculated data value (now as indicator) can only be seen after an aggregation is run. In addition, in some forms in some countries like VN, auto-calculated data elements some time can be input by users. In VN, we use Javascript to achieve this. However, it is quite complicated. Imagine that you have to rebuild a spreadsheet engine. Important lesson learnt was if a dataelement is auto-calculated, make sure no one can change it manually. Otherwise, you end up with very low data quality.

In case you have not seen it, we have extensive documentation on the use of indicators here https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch13.html#indicator_maintenance It should also be possible to calculate the value from other data, not contained in the data entry form, IF it exists for the same orgunit and period.

This auto-calculated field would then be available for further reporting and indicator calculation (i.e. it is a data element calculated based on other data elements in the same entry form). Actually, if it would be possible to calculate data elements based on other data elements outside of a data form, that would be great too (but if I remember well this is currently not possible).
