Hello, all, I am posing a general question to the groups which does not necessarily pertain to any specific version of DHIS.
We have a need to perform rather complex calculations to create indicators. One current need of ours can be summarized as follows: IF facility data exists for this list (A) of data elements, sum these (A) data elements ELSE IF facility data exists for this list (B) of data elements, sum these (B) data elements ELSE IF facility data exists for this list (C) of data elements, sum these (C) data elements ELSE sum these (D) data elements captured at the SUB-facility level We don't think native DHIS can accommodate the above example. (If it can, please enlighten me.) We are exploring alternatives that can function with DHIS, such as calling and external application from DHIS to perform the calculation and returning the result to DHIS for reporting needs. I imagine we are not alone in needing more robust formula creation and was hoping the members of the DHIS community could share with us their solutions. Has anyone incorporated a work around for complex formulas to create indicators or validation rules? Thanks in advance for your input. *Laura E.
