Hi Markus and Bernard, At the start of last year, we reported this exclusion of parentheses from all program indicator functions as a bug (DHIS2-590<https://jira.dhis2.org/browse/DHIS2-590>), but it actually turned out to be intentional, so was changed from a bug to an Improvement.
Since it seems to keep cropping up as an issue, is there any chance we could sneak this Improvement into 2.30? Even if, for performance reasons, we still need to exclude nested functions, it would be great to be able to use parentheses within function expressions. Cheers, Sam.

This is a bug, and can be followed up here: https://jira.dhis2.org/browse/DHIS2-2813 If you are able to write your expression without parenthesis, this is a workaround that you can use. The general implementation of new functions in program indicators is followed up in jira issues, but there was none covering the mathematical functions you need here, so I created one that you can look at: https://jira.dhis2.org/browse/DHIS2-2814 Please complement or comment, and consider voting for it :) Best regards, Markus P.S. won't X*100%100 always be 0? 7. feb. 2018 kl. 09:21 skrev Bernard Sadaka (IM Advisor) <lib....@pu-ami.org<mailto:lib....@pu-ami.org>>: Hello Markus, Thank you for the list and explanation; is there any expected timeline for that? (JIRA issue, I can track?) With regards to the number of decimals, even if set to zero at the program indicator and after running the analytics, the “pivot table” still shows the digits. Regarding the expression, yes it is true, I’m rounding the constants, because I am actually creating a budget report and applying a discount rate on the individual cost of a specific PHCC activity and aggregating them using sum (so I am using one constant per cost of a PHCC activity and another for discount rate of all activities). I ended up using exact values in the constant instead of a discounted factor; after all, changing a discount factor is easier than changing 200 values individually when the discount rate changes. The reason for all this, is that with a discounted factor there is a need to round the values and disallow them to be cumulated in the sum of the aggregation in order to keep the report error free. Hope the above explains my usecase: aggregating the data elements of a TEI and multiplying them by a cost constant and a discount factor. And yes the round functions in this case would be very beneficial. Thank you again for your support.

Unfortunately we are not there yet, and the list of supported functions in program indicators can be found here: 19.4.5. Reference information: Functions, variables and operators to use in program indicator expressions and filters<https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/user/html/dhis2_user_manual_en_full.html#program_indicator_functions_variables_operators> Where did you get the wrong number of decimals? In the Pivot or in the Tracker/Event capture? One question on your expression below, it seems you are trying to round off a constant from your defined constant values? Your use case I would have guessed is to round off a data element or tracked entity attribute value?

Functions like ceil, floor, round and others are very useful. Also I tried to use the “Decimals in data output” in the program indicator details, it didn’t work. Also I tried to simulate the round function using conditional modulo subtraction/addition (the pivot table keeps trying to load) : C{eB6eQXKY8HA}*C{xGZ2I9aTeXX} -(C{eB6eQXKY8HA}*C{xGZ2I9aTeXX}*100) % 100 + d2:condition('(C{eB6eQXKY8HA}*C{xGZ2I9aTeXX}*100) % 100 >=50',1,0) Thank you in advance.
