You'll probably find that the issue stems from you trying to filter out "self" and not "Self"....

Mind you, I've never been a fan of 'text-based' variables - they tend to create more issues than they solve.

If you replace the names with integers (so that Self = 1 etc...), then using ParticipantType !=1 as a filter will work....

ParticipantType != self

filters out all rows where the value in the ParticipantType column is equal to the value in the self column ... and jamovi is helpfully pointing out that there is no self column in your data set.

if you want to only include rows where the value in the ParticipantType column is equal to 'Self' you need to wrap it in quotes, and ensure the capitalization is correct. i.e.

ParticipantType != "Self"

(i'll also add that i'm quite comfortable using text based variables)
