Re: [Dhis2-users] Indicator based on previous year's output

Hi Edward

I see that I was on a different page altogether.

Well, I think your situation can still be addressed within DHIS 2 but you may have to do some _javascript_s to manage the data that has to be retrieved from the previous periods. We've done something close to this with one of our programmes.

Thanks Tlohang, yes, I’m aware that we can produce a cumulative number of x over a period, but I need to then use those numbers to compare data from another period as covered in my last mail, hence I assumed I may be able to achieve it using an indicator.  Sorry that I was a bit brief in my initial mail,

Regards

Ed

Hi Edward

 

You probably don't need an indicator for that. The knows how to analyse that data element in that cumulative manner once you choose that period during analysis.

 

I hope this helps.

What’s the best approach to creating an indicator that’s based on a cumulative total of a data element captured monthly, for a set timeframe?

 

E.g. I have an indicator called “Number of patients” captured monthly.

I need an indicator that will give me the total number of patients for the set period October 2016 – September 2017.

 

Thanks in advance!
