Just to add to this:
If you don't have pop data below a certain level, but plenty of other
data in DHIS, you can always estimate population by looking at service
data. This needs some work, and is dependent on decent (and uniform)
data completeness.
Example: Region 1, with a known population, and under it: District A, B,
C with unknown population.
Find a basket of data elements that should reflect normal use of the
primary health services (and which you have plenty data for, complete
and over time), typically including "headcount", ANC visits,
Immunization, etc. Find the totals for A, B, C, and their respective
share of Region 1's total. Then you can split Region 1 population into
approximate district shares.
This does not represent the actual target population, but those that use
the facilities included. At facility level, this can have some
importance as it hides the information about preferance of facilities,
i.e. we fail to find those facilities with low utilization compared to
their real catchment population.

Yes, that is the point. Each orgunit should have a population for a
specified time period (for instance, yearly population values). So,
the indicator formula would look something like this
Numerator = Whatever data element
Denominator = Population
If you enter at level 3, you will not be able to get level 4
indicators, but values will be able to be aggregated up the hierarchy.

Except each org unit will have population.
How do you specify which to use in an indicator? ... will these be
aggregated? ... what if no low level numbers?

Create a new data element called "Population". Probably want to use
"Average" as an aggregation operator here. Add it to a dataset like
any normal data element and enter the data through the data entry
screen. :)

I am probably missing something obvious here but where do you enter
population numbers for organization units to use as denominators for
indicators?
