*I remember long time back we had the type of period is ‘So far this year’. This type is easy to use in calculate the cumulative value which is total from the months from begin of the year until the month generate report. *
But now that period is not available in new DHIS report table any more. So the cumulative element, I use it as year period. But this value is right only when user generate the report at the latest month, if user generate report in the previous months, the total of cumulative value is still total of that year. So my question is Which period type in current DHIS version that replace the ‘So far this year’ type? Thủy
this is a good point, we are working on it. The data mart is currently
based on fixed, standard periods (like months, quarters etc) so we
will have to think of something clever here.
