Creating Dashboards for All Users, Not Just Those with Profiles

I’ve checked the number of users in Users section. ‘Users with profiles’ are 110k. All ‘Users’ are over 1 mln. I’ve downloaded CSV files of both databases. The users of ‘Users’ that are not in ‘Users with profiles’ do have distinct ID. But when I create dashboards or filter users that have commited particular event, only ‘Users with profiles’ are shown. How can I make dashboards that takes into account ALL users?

In Mixpanel, the distinction between "Users with profiles" and "All Users" is important: - Users with profiles: These are users who have at least one user profile property set. - All Users: This includes anyone who has triggered an event, even if they do not have a user profile.When you create dashboards or filter users based on events, Mixpanel typically joins event data with user profiles using the distinct_id. However, if a user has only triggered events and does not have a user profile, they may not appear in certain user-based reports or dashboards that rely on profile properties or the "User Profiles" view. This is why you see only 110k users (with profiles) in your dashboards, even though there are over 1 million total users who have triggered events.How to include all users in dashboards:Summary: - Reports based on events (not user profile properties) should include all users who have triggered those events, even if they do not have a profile. - If you need all users to have profiles for consistent reporting, consider bulk-creating profiles for users who currently lack them.For more details, see the Mixpanel documentation on Users and User Profiles.
