Dear all, in my current approach for feeding DHIS2 with data from a source system, I rely heavily on Categories / CategoryCombinations as dimensions for a DataSet (E.g. DataElement: NumberOfBalls, Dimension: Color of Balls[red,blue,green]). From a data-modelling perspective this is much more flexible than creating single dataelements RedBalls, GreenBalls and BlueBalls, as I can easily add other colors and maybe also a material dimenesion in the future.
However, this only makes sense, when I can make use of the dimensions later on, especially when defining indicators. So far I have only seen indicators that can be calculated from simple DataElements. What I'd actually need would be indicators, that can a) filter dataElements according to dimension values. Example: Indicator IND_RedBalls = NumberOfBalls where(Color=red) b) be re-used in subsequent indidator definitions. Example: IND_Redishness = IND_RedBalls / (IND_GreenBalls + IND_Blueballs) During analysis (e.g. pivot-table) a) must be applied when selecting data before aggregation, b) must be applied after aggregation (I think someone was asking for this last year) I can't figure out how to do that with the current indicator manager. If it is possible, can someone please suggest a solution? If it is not possible - is there a chance to get a blue-print through with this, if I wrote one? Thanks a lot, Uwe _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
