Show only series with more than x books

This question only concerns the library view in calibre, not transfering to devices.

I'm trying to filter my library to show ALL books in the series with more than x books in it. For a start I use

Code:

series:true AND series_index:>x

but this shows me all books in the series EXCEPT those that are equal or less than x, e.g. if x =2 I get 3, 4, 5 and so on but not 1 and 2.

I'm looking for some sort of code like this SQL:

Code:

select * from library
where series in (select distinct(series) from library
                 where series_index > x)

Is there any way to translate this to calibre's syntax?

Not exactly what you asked

In the Tag browser: Use the Alter Tag Browser button (at bottom of list): Sort by: Number of books

This will group Series by how many are in each series
