It's not possible to combine an exclusion from one report with an exclusion from another report. That is, if you exclude a certain IP range, all entries within that range are excluded without regard to their OS or their browser.
There is a way to get what you want in Analog if you run Analog twice. Run it once to include only friends; then run it again to include everything. Next, deduct totals from the first report from the second. Note that this is only practical for the General Summary.
The alternative is preprocessing your server log file.

Hello Im new to the list and I've been experimenting with the config file for some weeks.
The issue I face is excluding friends and family from the results. First of all I've found out what their IP address is and excluded them from the report - fair enough. But obviously people with dynamic IPs will change over time, and my reports span many months. Now, some people's IP changes a little (for example the last octet), but for some it can change quite dramatically, for example from 80.143 to 80.22. Now obviously if I was to exclude 80.* I would be excluding more than just my pals.
I have tried using dns resolution and in some cases it helps. However name resolution for dynamic IPs usually gives a unique dns name each time, usually with the IP address somewhere in the name, or it takes the form of some sort of checksum appended to the ISP domain name.
So, is it possible to combine exclusions? For example can you exclude all those with IP 80.* who using Brower X and have Operating system Y? If this is the case I can identify my pals with more precision.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Steven.
