Filter for Missing Data

[Leslie1899 0]

I've downloaded Favorite Filters from the Arlington RUG meeting which helped, but did not solve my inability to filter my project the way I'd like to. Here's what I'd really like to do: filter out by surname those people for whom I have no death information at all. I haven't entered a Tag because I had no information at the time the person was entered into the database. Therefore, selecting a query based on the tag being empty doesn't return anything.

 

I'm preparing a research trip and would like to know for whom in a particular family surname group I need to find death/burial information. I've successfully printed out a report on those for whom I have a date of death, but no citation. But, is there any way to filter for missing tags, such as death and/or burial?

 

Thank you for any suggestions,

Leslie

I'd think a filter for the List of People report like this:

 

Surname = Jones AND

# of Death Group tags = 0

 

should do it for you.
