Dear DHIS2 team,

I need some help for a program indicator.

I have several 6 data elements which are integer. I would like to have a program indicator which is the maximum value among those 6 DE. Any idea?

Lise.

Dear Lise,
unfortunately I can not think of any elegant way of achieving this within the current functionality of the program indicators.

We could make a d2:max() function that would take in a list of data elements and return the highest value represented within the list of arguments. Can you please add a jira issue describing your usecase?

Best regards
Markus

Dear Markus,

I have opened a JIRA for this: https://jira.dhis2.org/browse/DHIS2-1955

I could not find “Program indicator” in the list of component, so that I put “Other” and “Program rules” (the closest). But I can modify it if program indicator is available.

Best
