Custom buckets in Mixpanel allow you to group existing properties into meaningful segments on the fly, making it easier to analyze and compare data. Here's how you can use custom buckets:1. Availability: Custom buckets are available in Insights, Funnels, and Retention reports Docs Features > Advanced > Custom Buckets> .2. Creating Custom Buckets: - Add a property in Breakdown - Select "Customize Buckets" from the overflow menu - Define your segment buckets - Click "Apply" to reflect the changes in the visualization3. Use Cases: - Compare performance between markets (e.g., US vs UK vs China vs others) - Group marketing channels (e.g., organic search vs Google ads vs social media) - Analyze user age groups or video watch time durations4. Property Types: Custom buckets work with String, Numeric, and List data types.5. String Properties: - Group countries into regions - Combine marketing channels6. Numeric Properties: - Create even or varied buckets for numeric ranges - Example: Group video watch times into specific duration ranges7. Typecasting: You can change the data type of a property to create more meaningful groupings.8. Limitations: - You cannot have more than 10 uneven (varied) groups - Custom buckets are non-overlapping and sum up to 100% by definitionRemember that custom buckets are for ad-hoc exploration and cannot be saved. For frequently used groupings, consider creating a custom property instead.Custom buckets are a powerful feature that brings advanced analysis capabilities to all Mixpanel users, regardless of their experience level Custom Buckets: Bringing more easy-to-use analysis power to Mixpanel.
