# Can I filter by questions in the survey?
Yes, you are able to filter by any question in your survey, including self-selected demographic items.
1. When running a report, click **Filters.**
2. Click the orange + button to add a new filter.
3. Click the Demographic dropdown and select Survey Item.
> For a ranked choice question, you also select which rank positions to include. Choose the option you want, for example Senior Leadership, then select one or more positions, for example 1st and 3rd. The report then shows only the participants who ranked that option at one of the positions you selected.
>
> Selecting more than one position widens the match. 1st or 3rd returns everyone who ranked the option in either place, not only participants who did both.
> See Ranked Choice Chart for how ranked results are reported.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.talentmap.com/knowledge-base/step-5-analyze-interpret-and-report/compass-reports/reporting-faq/can-i-filter-by-questions-in-the-survey.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
