Hi Calle, But I thought you said you were importing this data from 1.4? My point was, if you are importing this from 1.4, you could simply transform the data into something which appears to be daily. If people were to enter both, well, of course that would be a problem, but if it is a centralized

Than/Jason, You cannot compare this with e.g. using departments of hospitals as categories (to me an obviously BAD idea since you are trying to model what is fundamentally an geographical/administrative dimension phenomena as a fact dimension phenomena). For me, using a daily data set with some d

Hi Calle I voted for Jason's suggestion. In Vietnam, in many cases we use this approach. Hacking dhis2 by using days as categories will be problematic in the long run although such problems may not be visible now. Once time in the past someone told us to use departments of hospitals as categories

Hi Calle I never thought of using categories like that, but it looks to me like it would work. Category=DayOfTheMonth, CategoryOptions="Day1,Day2,...,Day31". The sum of the categoryoptions add up to the total for the month which I think is consistent with rational category design. Obviously you

Hi, I need some urgent feedback on one very specific issue: 1. We have a lot of monthly data that have been captured on a daily basis (up to now in 1.4). The data is in reality monthly aggregated data because it is the monthly totals that are used for indicators, analysis, reports etc - but the d
