The following example selects respondents who chose the category with the mapped category value of 31 (which is the Dinosaurs category) in response to the remember question. In a multiple response variable, HasAnswer returns True regardless of whether any other category was chosen in response to the question. This example therefore selects all respondents who chose the Dinosaurs category regardless of whether they also chose any other category.
