Help Querying Census events
Posted: 03 Oct 2010 14:42
Dear All
I'm struggling with what ought to be a simple query.
I have varying numbers of census events against individuals anywhere from 0 to 8 depending when they were alive
What I want to do is show all census entries that do not have an associated source i.e. 'where within source'
I can make this work on the first census entry with the following code
add unless %indi.cens.DATE% is null
exclude unless %indi.cens.sour.page% is null
What I am struggling with is making it also work on the 2nd and subsequent entries. Ideally I would like a list of all unsourced census events across all the census years.
If this isn't possible for any reason I could check a single year (entered via a field) but I don't know how to check all possible 8 census entries for that year.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated as always!
Thanks
