Creating a filter
You can create filters to restrict the cases that are included in a table.
1 Select the table for which you want to define a new filter.
2 Select the Filter pane.
3 In the Filter description field, enter a description for the filter. This will appear as a header in the Results pane. It is a good idea to include the filter conditions in the description, so that you can see what the filter shows when you view the results.
4 If you are working with hierarchical data, you must also set the level at which you want the filter to operate. See
Filtering hierarchical data for more information.
5 In the Variables pane, drag the variable you want to use as a filter to the filter area.
6 Set up a condition for the filter; for example, for a categorical variable you can specify that only responses containing a specific category are included in the results. The type of condition you can set up varies according to the type of variable. See
Filter conditions for more information.
The filter condition is applied to the table as soon as you switch to another pane.
8 Press F5 to generate the results and display the table.
