To calculate how often a user performs a particular event over a specific time period in Mixpanel, you can use the Frequency per User measurement in the Insights report. Here's how you can do it:1. Create a new Insights report. 2. Select the event you want to analyze. 3. Change the measurement from the default "Unique Users" to "Frequency per User". 4. Set your desired time range for the analysis.This will show you how many times users performed the selected event within the specified time period.For more detailed analysis, you can also:- Use breakdowns to segment your data - Adjust the time interval (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) - Apply filters to focus on specific user groupsMixpanel provides various visualization options to help you understand the frequency data, including line charts, bar charts, and tables.For a more advanced analysis of user behavior over time, you might also consider using the Retention report with the Frequency view. This allows you to see how frequently users return to use your product or perform specific actions over time.Sources:: [Insights:: Visualize trends and compositions within your data](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/reports/insights#measurements) Retention: Measure engagement over time
