Hi Stanley!
You possibly already read this chapter in the docs:
26.4.1.7. About variables
<https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/user/html/manage_program_indicator.html#d0e30820>
We can probably expand a bit more in the docs on how the different counts work.
Here is a bit more of an explanation for the different counts.
Count of events(event mode): When looking at this in an pivot, it counts the
number of events that
- has an event date within the given period
- happened at the orgunit(s) included in the report
- matches any other filters you might have defined in the "Filter" part
of the program indicator.
Count of enrollments(event mode): Is counting a subset of the "Count of events"
above. When several events is linked to one enrollment, each of these groups
will only be counted as one. An alternative narrative way of explaining it is
that you count how many different enrollments that is represented with at least
one event within the given period and orgunit(s).
Count of tracked entity instances(event mode): Is counting a subset of the
"Count of enrollments" above. When several events is linked to one enrollment,
and several enrollments is linked to one tracked entity instance, all these are
grouped and counted on the tracked entity instance level. An alternative
narrative way of explaining it is that you count how many different tracked
entity instances that is represented with at least one event within the given
period and orgunit(s).
As you can see, all these counts is by default founded in the individual events
that happened within the reporting boundaries. In 2.26 we added another mode
for program indicators in tracker programs called "Enrollment" mode. This is
opposed to the "Event" mode that is explained above, and that is the default
mode for all program indicators. Enrollment mode might be useful in some cases
when working with tracker data. If you select "Enrollment" as the mode for the
program indicator, the enrollment itself is the foundation for all counting,
expressions and filtering. Here is how the counts behave in enrollment mode:
Count of events(enrollment mode): Not yet supported enrollment mode, but
improvement issue is registered:

Count of enrollments(enrollment mode): When looking at this in an pivot, it
counts the number of enrollments that
- has an enrollment date within the given period
- was enrolled at the orgunit(s) included in the report
- matches any other filters you might have defined in the "Filter" part
of the program indicator.
Count of tracked entity instances(enrollment mode): Is counting a subset of the
"Count of enrollments" above. When several enrollments is linked to one tracked
entity instance, all these are groups are counted as one. An alternative
narrative way of explaining it is that you count how many different tracked
entity instances that was enrolled within the
Hope this explanation can help you when looking into your mentioned difference
in numbers between event reports and program indicators. If you want further
assistance on this part, please provide more detail on the indicator definition
and the event reports query.
Best regards,
