Dan,
You're correct. I ran a test report on 651 and 901 tags with the 
subfields a and b.  The results display 651 a & b, as well as 901 a and 
b.  Perhaps there is a different way to filter than what I'm using. Or 
using Excel you could do further data manipulation.  Thanks for pointing 
that out.

You can enter more than one element into that filter. For example, with the tag, I can enter 600 in the box and click add, then 650 and click add again, and now the report should filter on both.  See the attached screenshot for the example.  I hope that makes sense. Good luck and keep us posted on the outcome.
