Hi everyone,
I’m having a problem with data elements in DHIS2 in version 2.20. I have a data element in multiple data sets, and I’m able to enter different values for the same organisation unit, for the same period in the different data entries containing the same data element.
My assumption was that a data element can get only one value for one period for one organisation unit, even if it’s part of multiple data sets. In my case, I would expect to see the value that was entered in the first data entry for that data element in the second data entry. Am I wrong with my assumption? Does that mean that there are additional dimensions of the data element? Or maybe there is some set-up that I’m missing which allows all of this?
Thank you for your help!
All the best,
Elena
Hello Eleanor,
There are two additional dimensions, category combination dimensions as well as dataset category dimensions.
Thus if you’re able to enter multiple values then you must be entering them in a non-default dimension.
