When using a combination of Categories on a Data Set - how can I write a validation rule that compares values between the categories used by the DataSet, rather than the total?
Similarly, how can I define an Indicator that uses for the numerator one Combination of Category of the data set, and then a different one for the denominator?
In neither case the category combination is exposed on the User Interface: only the DataElements and related CatCombos are exposed.
Rodolfo
Continuation of my question:
Is it possible to write Indicator/ Validation expressions using a syntax that can refer to the DataSet Attribute, even if the UI doesn’t expose it?
Can I refer to a particular DataValue as [DataElement UID].[CatCombo UID].[DataSetAttribute] ?
Otherwise I cannot use DataSetAttributes in my design: they are visible on analytics, but there are not exposed on Validations or Indicators, making them difficult (sometimes impossible) to use.

Dear Rodolfo,
How about using a custom form with some jquery enforcing whatever you need?

Hi Alex - that will work, but we are looking at using Validation Rules, so they can be used for both, data entry and data import. Also, there are some indicators that I need to calculate that only use as numerator a specific DataValue that belong to one of the DataSetAttributes.
I may need to reverse the decision of using the Dataset Attributes, and instead do it the classic way: just Data Elements and CatCambos.

Hi Rodolfo,
Do you know if there’s been any update on this question? I am particularly interesting in creating indicators that combine data elements from different data set categories.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

I don’t think there is. At the end, I had to create 2 sets of Data Elements (200 Data Elements x2=400 Data Elements), as if I used the DataSet Attribute I couldn’t look at an specific one when doing a indicator or validation. I do think that DHIS needs to expose the DataSet Attribute as part of the Indicator/ Quality modules at some point soon - having it on the analytics is not enough. I could be as easier as extending the current notation DataElementUID.CatComboUID by adding a third .DataSetAttributeIUD.
