    To filter for 190 specific Distinct IDs in a Mixpanel Insights report without creating a new property via CSV upload, you can use Custom Buckets. This feature allows you to create ad-hoc segments directly within your analysis flow. Here's how you can do it:1. In your Insights report, click on the "Filter" button. 2. Select "Distinct ID" as the property to filter on. 3. Instead of selecting individual values, look for an option like "Custom Buckets" or "Create Custom Segment". 4. In the Custom Buckets interface, you can define your segment by listing out all 190 Distinct IDs you want to include.This approach allows you to create a temporary segment for your analysis without the need to upload a CSV or create a permanent custom property.Custom Buckets is a more user-friendly and accessible feature compared to the older Custom Properties. According to Mixpanel's blog, "Within a month of its launch, Custom Buckets had 6x the adoption of Custom Properties" and "More than half the usage of Custom Buckets is from casual users, paving the way towards democratizing analytics" Custom Buckets: Bringing more easy-to-use analysis power to Mixpanel.This method should allow you to filter for your 190 Distinct IDs directly within your Insights report without the need for a CSV upload or creating a new property.

    kapa.ai can you help me write the formula for the custom property creator? The formula should set property to true if user_xid is equal to a,b,c or d.

    Certainly! I can help you write the formula for the custom property creator in Mixpanel. Based on your requirements, we'll use the if function to create a custom property that sets to true if the user_xid matches any of the specified values (a, b, c, or d).Here's the formula you can use in the custom property creator:LBKSif(user_xid == "a" or user_xid == "b" or user_xid == "c" or user_xid == "d", true, false)LBKSThis formula uses the if function along with the or operator to check if the user_xid matches any of the specified values. If it does, the property will be set to true; otherwise, it will be false.To create this custom property in Mixpanel:1. Go to the custom property creator. 2. Give your custom property a name (e.g., "Matched_User_XID"). 3. In the formula field, paste the formula provided above. 4. Click "Apply" to use it in your current analysis, or "Save" to make it available for future use.This approach is based on the information provided in the Custom Properties documentation, which outlines the usage of if statements and logical operators like or in custom property formulas.Remember that custom properties are calculated on the fly and can be used in various Mixpanel reports to segment and analyze your data based on this new condition.
