Excluding responses from analysis but not deleting

Hi everyone.

 

I’m wondering if there is a way to exclude specific responses from an analysis on Qualtrics, without deleting them. 

 

For example, I have a survey aimed at healthcare providers, but some clerical staff have completed it as well. They indicated their role in the “open text” field. Since I want to include other roles, but exclude these specific responses from the overall analysis and dashboard viewing. Is there a way to filter out these responses, without downloading the, cleaning it in Excel and re-uploading it?

 

I rather not delete the responses entirely either.

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

@shiprat You can create a TextiQ topic, name it “clerical staff” and use keywork search + manual tagging to put all the responses in it. Then with filter you can exclude the topic without deleting responses.
Hope this helps

Hi @Nam Nguyen, thanks for your response! Can I also use this system to exclude other responses, for those with numerical/quantitative data points?
