  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-04-14)
  
  How can I filter a `for loop` based on the value of a field?
  
  I tried `filterByValue`, but I do not know how to construct the statement.
  
  This is NOT a category field.
  
  I have this...
  
  ```
  {% for line in craft.entries.section('docs').filterByVale('account: 05').all() %}
      <a href="{{ line.url }}">{{line.lineItemTitle}} ({{line.lineItemTitle}})</a>, 
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
  
  How do I do this?
  
  Thanks

  ### Answer by username_1 on 2018-04-14. Score: 2
  
  You don't filter a `loop` but you can attach certain criteria in your `ElementQuery`. `craft.entries` returns you an object of type `EntryQuery` ([link to docs](https://github.com/craftcms/docs/blob/v3/en/element-queries.md)). You can search for specific entries based on different criterias by calling magic methods or function in your `Query` object.
  
  For example: `section('docs')` will return only entries in the section `docs`. You can attach any field handle that is in your field layout as well.. In your case `account('05')`.
  
  ```
  {% for line in craft.entries.section('docs').account('05').all() %}
       <a href="{{ line.url }}">{{line.lineItemTitle}} ({{line.lineItemTitle}})</a>, 
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
  
  If you want to search for multiple values you can include them as array or comma separated string.
  
  ```
  craft.entries
      .section(['section1', 'section2')
      .account('and, >=5, <=10')
      .anotherField('or, 3, 5')
      .someThingElse(['or' ,3 , 5])
      .all()
  
  ```
  
  You can see all available syntax examples in the [DB::parseParam()](https://docs.craftcms.com/api/v3/craft-helpers-db.html#parseParam()-detail) function
