Customer satisfaction responses have been collected from all these 4 cities and every time a city is entered by the respondent, it is stored in a custom variable, say {Custom Variable 2}.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, now the branch manager in San Francisco wants to view reports only from that city alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All that needs to be done is to simply filter the record.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are 2 simple steps to do this: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.) Login to QuestionPro, select the survey and click on \u201cReporting\u201d. Under Dashboard, you can notice the \u201cFilter Data\u201d section on the top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37718\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/15-1.jpg\"alt=\"image\" width=\"614\" height=\"223\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.) In the first tab, select \u201cSystem Variable\u201d, in the second tab the user needs to\u00a0select the Custom Variable that was used to capture the information on cities \u2013 in this case Custom Variable 2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37724\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/15-2.jpg\"alt=\"image\" width=\"526\" height=\"142\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.) In the next section, simply add the data for which the match and filter needs to be performed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/15-3.jpg\"alt=\"image\" width=\"500\" height=\"141\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result will be a filtered dashboard report only for responses collected from San Francisco store visitors!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This data can also be exported in Excel for further analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Custom variables offer a great deal of benefits to users \u2013 from personalized survey email invites to passing data values
