Hi I believe the calculated data value (now as indicator) can only be seen after an aggregation is run. In addition, in some forms in some countries like VN, auto-calculated data elements some time can be input by users.
In VN, we use Javascript to achieve this. However, it is quite complicated. Imagine that you have to rebuild a spreadsheet engine. Important lesson learnt was if a dataelement is auto-calculated, make sure no one can change it manually. Otherwise, you end up with very low data quality.
