Yes, you can subtract one date from another in Mixpanel using the datedif function in custom properties. This function allows you to calculate the difference between two dates in various units.The syntax for the datedif function is: LBKSdatedif(start_date, end_date, unit)LBKSWhere the unit parameter can be:
- "D": days
- "M": months
- "Y": years
- "MD": days remaining after subtracting whole months
- "YM": months remaining after subtracting whole years
- "YD": days, assuming start_date and end_date are within 1 yearYou can also use TODAY() as one of the date parameters to calculate the difference from the current date.For example, to find how many months have passed since a user's registration date: LBKSdatedif(registration_date, TODAY(), "M")LBKSThis would return a value like 5 (representing 5 months).This functionality is available in Mixpanel's Custom Properties feature, which allows you to calculate new properties on the fly using formulas.Mixpanel Custom Properties Functions
