Assigning ranges to a data set in "Event Reports"

Support - Assistance technique

Dear All,

I need some help to assign rages in event reports for age categories. Once I enter event reports app, there is a place to select the data element. In my case the data element is the age.

I want to have age categories
< = 16
17 to 22
23 to 28
29 to 34
35 to 40
40 = >

So inputting < = 16 is a easy but when I try to add a range I used 17 - 22 but when I enter the range it rests to 17.

Please give expert opinion thank you DHIS2 Support Community in advance.

Hi @udakaya

Welcome back to the DHIS2 Community of Practice!

If the age range is set to 17 - 22, how does it reset to 17? Could you please take a screenshot of what’s happening because I can’t reproduce the issue?

@udakaya,

Have you tried creating a legend with these ranges, and then assigning that to the data element? This will let you use that as your range for that data element in event reports. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
