Hello and welcome to the Moodle developer community. It's always good to get a bit more familiar with existing solutions. Check how existing reports work and then look how they were written. Make sure to browse the Plugins directory – chances are there is already a plugin doing what you need, or a similar one. Once you are ready to start with actual coding, you may find the Moodle plugin skeleton generator useful to get a scaffolding ready for your new plugin.

Good luck!

Hello Shatha, as a complement to David's post, if there is no plugin doing what you need, https://moodle.academy/course/view.php?id=64 is a good place to start. The first course of the itinerary called "Moodle Development Environment" already lets you create a basic plugin.

Cheers!
