Calculated Indicators enable organizations to perform mathematical calculations from two or more source Project Indicators. For example, an organization might need to track the percentage of a population that was vaccinated with the formula (Number of people vaccinated/Total population)* 100. In this example, they used the results from two other (source) Project Indicators to perform the calculation.

Here are a couple of common terms we’ll use when setting up and managing Aggregated Calculated Indicators in Amp Impact:
Term | Description |
|---|---|
Calculated Project Indicator | A project indicator for which results are calculated by using source project indicator(s) in a mathematical formula. The operations available to create formulas are ‘+,’ ‘-,’ ‘*,’ and ‘/.’ Users may choose these operations from a dropdown picklist or may type them directly into the formula box. In addition to this, users may also type numbers or decimal points into the formula box. |
Dependent Calculated Project Indicator | A calculated project indicator that includes one or more calculated indicators in its formula. |
Source Project Indicator | A project indicator for which results are entered directly by the user on the AddResults page. This type of project indicator is used in the formula/calculation for a calculated project indicator. |
Batch | Users can run batches to process a bulk amount of data. “Batch is used to run large jobs (think |

Calculated Indicators are only available as a LWC from Kalausi (v1.34) or later. If your organization is using the Visualforce ManageIndicators page, the interface will be slightly different. The logic for setting up Calculated Indicators is still the same. Reach out to your System Administrator if you have questions about creating Aggregated Indicators. |

System Admin Note: If you want to use Calculated Indicators functionality in Lightning Web Component make sure ‘Lightning Web Security for Lightning web components and Aura Components’ is enabled in ‘Session settings’. |
Calculated Project Indicators can be set up for any numeric Project Indicator. This feature enables organizations to perform the following functions:

have the same reporting frequency,
have the same geographic level, and
have the same level of disaggregation as the intended Calculated Indicator.

Click on the “Edit” option in the dropdown located next to the particular Project Indicator in the “Selected Indicators”table.
In the popup, edit the field you want to, (for example: Guideline). In order to edit the Calculation Formula, click on “Save and Edit Calculation

This will This will` open the “Customize Calculation” popup where the source indicators or operators can be edited.
Once a Project Indicator is deactivated, it cannot be used in the formula for a calculated Project Indicator. The calculation formula popup will not display the deactivated source Project Indicator when the user clicks into the search bar to create the formula. If the user types a deactivated Project Indicator in the search bar, the message “No matching records found” will display in the dropdown.

The user is notified via email when the batch is complete and results are updated.
A success message is displayed once the batch is updated. The buttons will display again and users can refresh the Add Results page to see the most accurate results. The last calculation date field will also be updated.

Time to wait: We recommend that users don’t edit or update results for Calculated and Aggregated Indicators indicators via ManageIndicators while the results are being updated. Users can navigate away from the AddResults screen until the batch is completed. |

The logic for creating Aggregated Calculated Indicators from the Visualforce page is similar to the LWC described above. The only difference is the user interface for some of the steps:
The “Add New Custom Indicator” and “Aggregation Criteria” Formula popups have a slightly different interface.
To edit a Calculated Indicator from the Visualforce page, users can click on the “wrench icon” next to the corresponding indicator.
To update results for a single Calculated Indicator from the Visualforce page, users can click on the “refresh icon” next to the corresponding indicator.
Users can also update results for all Calculated and Aggregated Indicators using the “Refresh Indicators” button from the Manage Indicators page.
On the pop-up select “Calculated” to update results for only Calculated Indicators
