Create a crosstabular Django form based on a database table
Using Python 3 and Django 2, I have a project connected to an Amazon RDS MySQL database containing a table as such:
region | date | date_type | revenue
-----------------------------------
East | Oct | Actual | 150
East | Nov | Actual | 180
East | Dec | Forecast | NULL
West | Oct | Actual | 120
West | Nov | Actual | 125
West | Dec | Forecast | NULL
I would like this table pivoted on the month column to create a form that resembles the following, with revenue loaded into 'Actual' columns and input fields in 'Forecast' columns:
region | Oct | Nov | Dec | Total |
------------------------------------------
East | 150 | 180 | <usr input> | SUM() | -Submit-
West | 120 | 125 | <usr input> | SUM() | -Submit-
When the user clicks 'Submit', that row should be inserted into a different table in MySQL. The 'Total' column should sum the values in the row but doesn't need to be inserted.
It's important that the form(s) be dynamic so that one row (or one form) for each unique 'region' is returned.
As you have probably inferred, I'm not an experienced developer so some guidance on which classes (models, forms, formsets) to leverage would be great.
Thanks!
