Generating Monthly report from Database table based on month selection and using Treeview to display

Tkinter Treeview to display report based on selection of Month from Combobox from MySQL table

Query based on user selection of Month from Combobox

We will first create the window with Combobox and on selection of Month we will show the Query string.

Here we have used trace method of StringVar() str to trigger the function on change of selection of Combobox.

Inside the function my_upd() we will read the selected value of the month by using sel.get() and then apply config() to display the text on Label lb

Here is the code to create the query.

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
my_w = tk.Tk()
my_w.geometry("600x450")  # Size of the window 
my_w.title("www.plus2net.com")  # Adding a title

def my_upd(*args):
    month=sel.get() # read the selected month 
    lb.config(text="SELECT * FROM my_tasks WHERE \
    DATE_FORMAT( dt, '%b' ) ='"+month+"'")

sel=tk.StringVar() # string variable 

months=['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul',
    'Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec']

cb1 = ttk.Combobox(my_w, values=months,width=7, textvariable=sel)
cb1.grid(row=0,column=0,padx=10,pady=20)

lb=tk.Label(my_w,text='Query',bg='yellow') # To display Query
lb.grid(row=1,column=2) 

sel.trace('w',my_upd) # Trigger on change of selection 
my_w.mainloop()  # Keep the window open

We will connect to MySQL database.

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
my_conn = create_engine("mysql+mysqldb://userid:pw@localhost/my_db")

usrid : Your MySql login user id
pw : Your MySql login password
localhost : Address of MySQL server, IP address or localhost
my_db : Database name of MySQL where our table is available.

Using SQLite3 connection

MySQL accepts month as %b for matching query, while using SQLite we have to use month as 01, 02 ,03 ..... It is not a good idea to display numbers inside the Combobox for user to select.

Here is a dictionary with month names ( Jan, Feb ..) as Keys and Month numbers (01, 02 .. ) as values. We have taken all keys of the dictionary to display as options of the Combobox.

my_dict={'Jan':'01','Feb':'02','Mar':'03','Apr':'04',
'May':'05','Jun':'06','July':'07','Aug':'08','Sep':'09',
 'Oct':'10','Nov':'11','Dec':'12'}

#months=list(my_dict.values()) # showing Month number as options for Combobox 
months=[r for r in my_dict.keys()] # Month names as options

Once the user select the month as ( Keys as Month names ) , then matching matching month number we have to use inside our function and query.

query="SELECT id,tasks,status,strftime('%d-%m-%Y',dt) as dt \
    FROM my_tasks WHERE strftime('%m',dt)='"+my_dict[sel.get()]+"'"

Getting the keys or column headers in SQLite database

l1=my_conn.execute("PRAGMA table_info(my_tasks);")
l1=[r[1] for r in l1] # list of column headers

Note that here as we are using one different query to get the column names, so we have kept the headers outside the function.

To create the SQLite database table , use the above code ( given for MySQL ) and use this line if you are using SQLite3

import sqlite3
my_path='D:\\testing\\sqlite\\my_db.db' #Change the path 
my_conn = sqlite3.connect(my_path)

or continue with SQLAlchemy connection and create the SQLite table.

from sqlalchemy import create_engine 
from sqlalchemy.exc import SQLAlchemyError
#import sqlite3

my_path='D:\\testing\\sqlite\\my_db.db' #Change the path 

my_conn = create_engine('sqlite:///'+ my_path)
