This is a great use of management commands. I use that combined with a cron job to generate reports on a schedule. The management command allows you to use Django’s ORM for polling data, and there’s excel packages out there (can’t think of a name off the top of my head), but even to that point, excel will accept a CSV, which can very easily be constructed with python.
Hope this helps, Benny On Apr 24, 2021, at 3:04 PM, Andréas Kühne <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any good resources for building reports in Django / Python. What I am trying to do is the following: * I have built a questionnaire motor - it works more or less like google forms and collects the input from 1 or more respondents to a questionnaire. So far so good. * We are currently exporting the data into excel, where we can build reports (with graphs and so on). However - this is not working the way we want it to. * What we want to be able to do is somehow create a report from the data, and in certain cases group several questions into one graph. Now I know this can be done with code - but here's the tricky part - we want the users to be able to design their reports themselves. * Finally we want to be able to PDF the report and send it to the end user (the respondent of the questionnaire). So my questions are: 1. Has anyone done anything like this? Does anyone have any pointers they could give me? 2. Does anyone know of any good packages that could help? I am not talking about just using reportlab for PDF generation or matplotlib for creating graphs, but rather some more high level packages that would be a good inspiration? I am trying to find something that could help me do this task - as I'm not really excited about creating this myself :) Regards, Andréas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
