How to multiply different numbers from different lines in a text

I have a text file like this:

month /name/ number/ price
1 John 100 120.00
1 Sean 90 125.00
1 Laura 150 100.00
1 Joseph 95 140.00
1 Pam 91 105.00
2 John 110 120.00
2 Sean 98 100.00
2 Laura 100 100.00
2 Joseph 89 150.00
2 Pam 100 100.00
3 John 100 121.00
3 Sean 90 120.00
3 Laura 97 100.00
3 Joseph 120 110.00
3 Pam 101 100.00

I need to get a specific person's (such as Pam) revenue per month and total revenue in 1,2 and 3 months (number*price). I have the code below and the output below. But I have no idea how to get the total revenue, can anyone give to me some advice or idea? 

#This is the code I use
f = input('Enter The File Name:')
sales_data = open("sales.txt",'r')
lines = sales_data.readlines()
m = input('Enter the Manager Name:')
print('Monthly Sales Report for' +'  ' + m)
for line in lines:
    line = line.split()
    tr = (float(line[2]) * float(line[3]))    
    if m in line:
        print(line[0] +'  ' + line[2] + '  ' + line[3] +'  ' + str(tr))

#This is the output I got

Enter the Manager Name: Pam
Monthly Sales Report for  Pam
1  91  105.00  9555.0
2  100  100.00  10000.0
3  101  100.00  10100.0

f = input('Enter The File Name: ')
sales_data = open(f,'r')
lines = sales_data.readlines()
m = input('Enter the Manager Name: ')
print('Monthly Sales Report for ' + m)
TOTAL_REVENUE=0
for line in lines:
    line = line.split()
    if m in line:
        tr = (float(line[2]) * float(line[3]))
        TOTAL_REVENUE=TOTAL_REVENUE+tr
        print(line[0] +'  ' + line[2] + '  ' + line[3] +'  ' + str(tr))
print("GRAND TOTAL REVENUE: " + str(TOTAL_REVENUE))

One possible way to solve your issue is to store all monthly values in a dictionary for a particular manager:

file_name = input('Enter The File Name: ')

manager_summary = {'1':0.0, '2':0.0, '3':0.0}

with open (file_name, 'r') as fin:
    lines = fin.readlines()
    manager = input('Enter the Manager Name: ')
    print('Monthly Sales Report for' +'  ' + manager)
    for line in lines:
        line = line.split()
        if manager in line:
            manager_summary[line[0]] += float(line[-2])*float(line[-1])

manager_total = 0.0
for key, value in manager_summary.items():
    manager_total += value
print(manager_total)

The code reads the input file at once, loops through all the lines in search of the target manager and stores cumulative monthly sales for that manager in a dictionary. The total revenue for 3 month period is then computed by adding cumulative values for each month stored in the dictionary.

There were couple changes with respect to your original code worth noting:

  • In your code you ask the user for a file name but then you have it hardcoded in the next line - here you use that input file name.
  • Instead of opening the file with open this code uses with open - with open is a context manager that will automatically close the file for your when closing is needed, something that your were missing in your program.
  • Cumulative data is stored in a dictionary with keys being month numbers. This allows for having more than one monthly entry per manager.
  • Variable names are more meaningful. It is generally not recommended to use variables like f, m, it makes the program more bug prone and way less readable. The ones used here are longish, you can always come up with something inbetween.

You can solve this using a dictionary - specifically a defaultdict. You can keep track of a dictionary of people's names to revenue.

First import defaultdict and define a dictionary:

from collections import defaultdict
revenue_dictionary = defaultdict(float)

Then just after you've calculated tr, add this to the dictionary:

revenue_dictionary[line[1]] += tr

At the end of the script, you'll have a dictionary which looks like:

{
    'John': 37300.0,
    'Sean': 31850.0,
    'Laura': 34700.0,
    'Joseph': 39850.0,
    'Pam': 29655.0
}

And you can access any of these using revenue_dictionary['Pam'], or m instead of 'Pam'.
