Clever use of custom fact to and advance groups for Missing Media

On my personal wish list for things to add to advanced search is “No Media” (would be similar to “No Source”). Until my wish is granted – -I have come up with a work around to do most of work with RM. (previously I used Power BI and/or Excel PQ queries). This is what I came up with – but it likely would be strongly discouraged by RM because one step uses sqlite.

The groups are done via normal advanced Groups examples:

this would be people view using group filter

I used a custom fact “MediaZero” and update the note field (viaSQLITE)
like this: “#ZeroMediaBirth #ZeroMediaDeath #ZeroMediaCensus”. Then the rest is done in RM via normal group criteria

Just tested on RM db – and it took less than 2 mins to run with over 29K on 5 facts.
Uses CTE script to find facts with no media by personid (this one only does Ind facts)

If it looks good I will post later this week on
