After running a special report I have created, I want to delete the found responses. The found responses are all from people trying to stuff my survey and I don’t want their results to be included in my final export/download.

Come on guys. This is a great idea. Sometimes I even impress myself.

I wish you could implement it.

I am not saying “do it this year”; I just want to make sure someone saw it.

I just know it could sure help me out.

I have create a report to filter out “vote stuffers” on my survey and I want to delete them before exporting.

Hmm… what if we allowed you to delete by filter? So rather than create a report (that has filters) — there is simply a tool for creating a selection of responses and then deleting the results?

That same tool could also be used to “fix” data in groups too!

I would love to fix data in responses too. But I didn’t want to press my luck.

For example, I might ask for someone’s favorite ice cream place. Some might answer ABC Ice Cream, others might say ABC Icecream, and others might say ABC Ice Cream Inc. All three answers are the same place, but I have to manually add them up after I export.

If there was a way to search for all answers that had “ABC Ice” in them, and then I could bulk change the answers in that one field to one common unified answer. Without messing up the other fields, of course.

Nonetheless, I still would like to run a report and mass delete the records that come up in that report. If someone is stuffing, I don’t want any part of their answer in my final export.
