Using stats command to return 0 value

Hi There:

I'm trying to return the list of access_users with 0 web hits from the web_hits table. 

How can i adjust this query to return the list of users with no hits from the web_hits table?

Thanks in advance!

 

| inputlookup web_hits.csv

| lookup local=t access_users.csv user OUTPUT user as access_user

| search access_user="*"

| stats count as num_webhits by access_user

The stats command can't count what isn't there so you won't get a zero.  This query returns those access_users that are not in the web_hits table.

| inputlookup local=t access_users.csv where NOT [| inputlookup web_hits.csv | fields user | rename user as access_user | format ]
