A filter restricts the results to a subtarget: a part of the sample, defined by one or several answers. For example: displaying only the women, or the under-35s. The base is recalculated on this subtarget.

​
Applying a filter

The filters already available are displayed directly on your results (e.g. men / women).
1

Choose a filter

Click the filter you want among those offered.
2

Read the subtarget

The base updates: the number of individuals displayed drops to the size of the subtarget. You now read the number of individuals in this subpopulation, and no longer all the respondents.
3

Go back to Overall

Click Overall to get the full base back.
You can combine several filters to narrow the subtarget: by adding a second criterion to a filter already applied (for example the men, then the Paris region), the base narrows further. Each added filter refines the subpopulation.
The filtered subtarget is kept in the export: a flat table exported to Excel keeps the active filter. See the Exporting your deliverables page.

​
Choosing the available filters

You decide which questions serve as filters. Any question of the questionnaire can be added.
1

Open the filter management

Via the pencil icon, click Manage filters. You land in the results preferences.
2

Select the questions

Check the questions to offer as filters; uncheck the ones to remove.
3

Confirm

The filters you choose become available on all the results.
A filter can be based on a question of the questionnaire or on a variable you created (a recode, for example “familiar / not familiar”).

​
Filtering a wave comparison

For a filter to work in a comparison of several waves, it must exist on each wave and carry the same variable name. See the Comparing surveys or questions page.
