In dataset reports, you can only select one reporting period at a time,
but it would be nice to be able to see several periods aggregated
together, just as you can choose district level to aggregate facilities
together.

Yes, this is something Ola reported in launchpad recently, and Bob is working on now.
You are actually able to do period aggregation to a certain degree, as you may select a yearly period for a “monthly” indicator, which will aggregate all months in that year. The problem is that this period must be available in the database, which is not guaranteed as we only persist periods when data is stored for one.

Why can´t you use BIRT do do the aggregation for you? It is not
automatic per-se, but this is what I have done to aggregate monthly
values to quarterly ones. BIRT has a very nice little OLAP design tool
that can be used for this purpose.
