Max -
Paul's description is right on. I might add a few details that you, or others might not catch on to.
In any filtered report if you enter "[?]" in the value field (without the quotes) when you run the report it will prompt you for something to fill it in with. That makes it a better universal report - rather than a report that just searches for one value.
I'd second the suggestion, though, that you do select the "Overwrite picklist" option. It's very handy for cleaning up data.
If you do that, you can then (in the person view) just click on the up and down arrows on the toolbar, and it will step you through the database, displaying only those people with whatever place you entered. It will make the clean-up go quicker.
If you want to restore the picklist to show everyone in your database, you can just press F7 when you are in the picklist. If you leave the program, it will not retain your selected list, you'll need to run the report again to sort them back out.
