Report Filter help need

[waldonj 0]

I have a List of People filter for locating likely candidates for a World War I Registration of

 

Birth Year >= 1872 AND

Birth Year <= 1900 AND

Sex = M

 

which works fine. What I would like to do is further refine the filter so that I eliminate those for whom I already have that source cited. I have all my WW I Registrations cited as Source 53.

 

How can I specify additional criteria to eliminate those from the list that already have source 53 cited?

How do you record the event? Did you create a Custom tag? A role under another tag? I have a custom tag called WWI Draft and use the following filter:

 

Field Subfield Operator Value Connect

Sex = Equals M AND

Birth Group Date > Comes after 10 Sep 1872 AND

Birth Group Date < Comes before 13 Sep 1900 AND

( Death Group Date > Comes after 5 Jun 1917 OR

Death Group Date Is empty OR

Death Group Date Is irregular OR

Death Group # of tags = Equals 0 ) AND

WWI Draft # of tags = Equals 0 END

Thanks for the reply. I did not create a tag for the World War I Registration. I use it only as a source for other tags such as Birth, Occupation, and Residence, so it only appears in citations.

I don't think you can do this with as single report. But, you could use the List of Events report with a filter like:

 

Any Citation... Src Number = 53

 

to find events in which you cited the draft registration. Then, use the secondary output of that report to set a flag for those people.

 

Finally, use the List of People as Janis suggests, but instead of looking for the registration tag in the last line, look for the flag.

Thanks, Terry, that did the trick! Also gave me a new appreciation of the use of flags.
