Hello @Suranga ,

Hum, I don’t think it’s possible to import indicators from csv file because there is no “INDICATOR” option in class key, see below image (DHIS 2.27) :

I advise you to use XML or JSON format.

I usually export indicators to json and convert to csv after that i convert again to json.

I use python pandas to perform this convert.
Thanks

Hi, Thank you very much for the detail explanations. I’ll use JSON to do that. btw All the indicators are downloaded when doing that export so do we have a method to get specific indicators with relevant to the specific dataset in JSON export?

Hi there,

For the purpose of conversion JSON-CSV-JSON I use these two online instruments.

So you even do not need any extra tools or programming.
