Report of Active Users for a Month

I am trying to create a report for active patrons within a specific month, divided up by patron category.

 

(I see you can create a patron statistics report for patron activity within “years”, but can’t get the code so I can adjust it to a month’s period.) 

 

Any tips?

 

Thanks!

Thanks.

Does issue date refer to the date the item was checked out?

 

I’m getting just a handful of issues so I’m off somewhere on it.

 

Thanks.

I assume by "active", you mean "checked out books", right? If so, you'd want something like this:

SELECT YEAR(issuedate), MONTH(issuedate), categorycode, COUNT(DISTINCT borrowernumber) FROM old_issues LEFT JOIN borrowers USING (borrowernumber) GROUP BY YEAR(issuedate), MONTH(issuedate), categorycode;

Because it uses old_issues, it won't include anything that's still checked out; getting around that requires either ugly subqueries or running the report with old_issues and issues and manually combining the results.

Thanks.  I realized I wasn’t seeing all the results.

 

On screen, I wasn’t getting the full list.  Once I downloaded it then I saw the rest!

 

Thanks.

issuedate is the date the item was checked out, yes.

A quick run of the SQL seemed to work on my library's data, but the use of issuedate does mean that it won't include any data migrated from Koha 2.2; it'll only include checkouts made under Koha 3.0.

Substituting issuedate for date_due or returndate will include results from Koha 2.2, but will skew the results (as these refer to the due date and date the item was returned, respectively).
