Thanks for clarifying, Padam.

Could you ask them to just change to ISO weeks?

Hi Padam,

This is not actually a bug, but a feature request (blueprint).

Can you provide some more info about these weekly periods - how do they differ from ISO weeks, and why?

Regards,

Knut

Customizing DHIS for Early Warning and Reporting System for Nepal. We

are using automatic aggregation to weekly dataset from event data items.

For the dataset, we need to use epidemiological weeks, which differs

from ISO weeks. So I am looking for some ways to fix the issue with the

week system.

Dear Padam,

Thanks Calle, Jason and Knut for clarifying on this.

I am using DHIS2 for outbreak detection algorithms and I have not seen much difference if you stick to the ISO weeks which is standard. The only thing you need to keep in mind is for cases which occur daily, you must always aggregate them daily and must fall in that ISO week until Sunday at Midnight.

Hi Knut,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Actually Epi weeks are Sunday-Saturday, 7 days week system.
Week 1 starts on the first Sunday of January of each year. If 1st January is Monday to Wednesday, then week 1 includes 1-3 days of December of last year. For example, looking at 2016 calandar, week 1 is 3 to 9 January. For 2013, week 1 is Dec 30 2012 to 5 January 2013.

I Hope I am able to make you clear.

Thanks,
Padam
