Hi Jason, Thanks, your hint solved a problem for us too where we had a large number of data elements needing to be included in denominators of indicators – now we can make indicators to insert into other indicators. We are working in 2.26 and hoping this will not break in the newer versions when we update. Regards Jane

I think in practice, you may reach a limit where the indicator may be too complex to calculate quickly enough. We have created indicators with many hundreds of data elements, and while they do work, it can be a bit slow. You may also encounter a limit in the user interface when defining the indicators, but if you are creating one with many dozens or hundreds of expression elements, you are probably not going to want to use the UI anyway, and would script the creation of the indicator. While not supported through the user interface, adding together indicators will work it seems. Would be interested to hear what your experience is if you create a "large" indicator, or one which consists of multiple indicator components.

If so, is it possible to include another indicator in the indicator calculation expression?
