Most of my people have multiple census fields in events - one for each census they are in. But I am sure I have missed some across the 2000 people in my Reunion family. I would like to create a report that shows which all the censuses that I have for each person. That was I can work my way through a list of missing census info for each person and add it. I tried doing a text export - but they seems to only list one of the censuses that I have for them.

The only way I know to get the complete set of census event data from Reunion is with a GEDCOM export, but transforming that text into a useful report requires manipulating it with whatever editing resources you have available. If you have a version of Excel for Mac that supports VBA I can post the script I use. Or, there are ReunionTalk contributors who are very familiar with text editors such as BBEdit and might share some tips. -
Well, I completely missed the obvious. Using Lists > Events in the Navbar generates a nice report of all the desired events.
Open Lists > Events and click the gear to adjust the report settings. I chose all people, include events with or without places AND with date of any kind. I told it to list selected events and checked only Census. The results can be shared as a Rich Text File, though you may want to convert it to plain text with TextEdit for further analysis (e.g., a pivot table to quickly see who was missed and when).
