# Delay Breakdown
The Delay Breakdown shows where delay days are coming from, sorted by impact, so you can see your biggest problem areas before drilling into who's responsible.
## View Delay Reasons
***
Bars are sorted largest impact first, giving you an immediate picture of which delay reasons are having the most effect on the project.
{% hint style="info" %}
Improvements aren't included in this report - only delays.
{% endhint %}
## Filter the Report
***
Use the filter bar to narrow the report to a specific part of the project or a specific date range.
**To set a date range:**
* Use the Date Range picker in the filter bar to choose the window you want to analyse
**To filter by subcontractor, owner, or other dimensions:**
* Click  in the top right corner
* Select one or more values - you can filter by: Task Owner, Subcontractor, Shift, Package, Assignee, Folder, and Location
* Applied filters appear as removable tags; select  to reset
**To change which publication the report is anchored to:**
* Use the Publication selector in the filter bar
* Defaults to the latest published version

## View Delays by Subcontractor or Task Owner
***
Below the chart, two pivot tables let you see exactly which subcontractors or task owners are behind each delay reason.
#### **To expand a delay reason:**
* Click any reason row in the Delays by Reason & Subcontractor or Delays by Reason & Task Owner table
* The row expands to show a breakdown by Subcontractor or Task Owner
* Each row shows the Tasks Delayed count and total Impact Days
## Export the Data
***
Every chart and table can be exported as a CSV, with your active filters applied. Read our Exporting as a CSV doc for a step by step guide.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.aphex.co/docs/insight/reports/delay-breakdown.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
