Cuts vs. Filters - What's the Difference?
Filters and Cuts both help you analyze your data — but they’re designed for different use cases.
| Tool | Use Case | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Filter | Focus on one group (e.g., just Gen Z) | View only that group’s data |
| Cut | Compare multiple groups side-by-side | See segmented results at once |
When to Use Each:
-
Use Filters when you want to isolate one audience or clean up your view
-
Use Cuts when you want to compare two or more audiences within the same chart
Power Combo:
Use them together. For example:
-
Filter to U.S. participants only
-
Then Cut by gender to compare male vs. female responses
This approach helps you refine your analysis and understand the differences between key subgroups within your dashboard.
