7. Click Add Filter to filter your report to look at a subset of your survey data.

Using Results-Reports Breakouts

Breakouts allow you to display data from different samples side by side. In the below example, we asked survey respondents to indicate the last clothing item they purchased. We then added a breakout for gender to see how people of different genders responded. By using breakouts, we can see how different demographics answer the same question.

For an in-depth guide on using breakouts, see Results-Reports Breakouts.
