[Koha] Report help needed - lost items

[Elaine Bradtke]

Mark, that still didn't do the trick, but thanks!
Caroline, this is much closer to what I need. But still not quite right.
It's messy because I've altered a report that I found in the report library
rather inelegantly.

What I really need is a list of titles and biblio numbers of biblios where
the last item is lost, or missing, or withdrawn (I can change that part of
the query myself).  I have to limit it by format because we have articles
and components in the catalogue that don't have item records attached.
What I'm getting now lis a list of biblios with items that are missing but
it includes biblios that still have one or more items that are on the shelf
(but at least one item that is missing). Or in other words, I'm looking for
biblios where the all the items are missing/lost/withdrawn.

Many thanks for your help!
