Re: Kindoo Access Control System
Google sheets and newer versions of excel support textjoin which can be simpler especially if you are combining more than 3 cells.
There are 11 types of people. Those who understand Gray Code and those that don't.

Like I said, it's a little kludgy (maybe a lot kludgy), but it gives you exactly what you are looking for.
- Export the list of users to a CSV
- Export the logs to a CSV based on the date range you care to view.
- Open them both up in a spreadsheet
- In the user list, concatenate the first and last names to create the full user name column, because that's how it's listed in the logs
- Use VLOOKUP or a similar spreadsheet function to tag users in the user list who are found in the logs. Those not found are your target group.
Keep in mind, Kindoo is not the Church's software and only for doors. It's a product used in many places with many functions, including opening gates, turning on lights, a pretty much anything else you can dream up using a remote relay.Instead of Never issued a command for a title, maybe it could say "Never Opened a Door".

Concatenation is easy and super useful Works in Excel and Google Sheets:
If cell A1 is first name and B1 is last name, just use a formula like this in C1 to get the full name:
=A1&" "&B1
The ampersand (&) is the secret sauce here!
I'll see if I can throw together a clean G Sheets example later to cover ELHawkes feature request. I think it could be useful.
So after several hrs of watching videos and practicing, I was able to make swigginton suggestion work.
To merge two columns in G Sheets, I used this formula after watching this video. =ARRAYFORMULA(A1:A&" "&B1:B)

To Match (Vlookup) two ranges in G Sheets, which was the harder part to find the best video example and figure out, I used this video.
