Limitations on Data Selection in Insights Report Charts Explained

I have an insights report broken down into 3 different properties. Why can't I select or see all of the data recorded in the chart and only have the option to select or see up to 12 different values reflected in the chart?

This limitation you're experiencing in your Insights report is due to Mixpanel's built-in limits for data visualization and selection. These limits are designed to keep the interactive analysis experience fast and manageable, especially for large datasets. Let me explain the specific limits that apply to your situation:1. Visible Limit: For Insights reports, Mixpanel allows up to 3000 segments to be returned and displayed in the report. Limits and Ordering2. Selection Limit: The number of segments you can select at a time for visualization is limited to 300 for bar charts and 50 for line charts in Insights. Limits and Ordering3. Default Selection: By default, only 12 segments are selected for visualization in Insights reports. Limits and OrderingThe reason you're seeing only 12 values reflected in your chart is likely due to this default selection limit. However, you should be able to select up to 300 segments for a bar chart or 50 for a line chart.If you need to access more data beyond these limits, you have a couple of options:1. Download as CSV: When downloading results as CSV, the limits remain unchanged, allowing you to access more data. Downloading Reports from Mixpanel2. Use the API: When querying Mixpanel's APIs, the limits also remain unchanged, potentially allowing access to more data. Limits and OrderingThese limits are in place to ensure optimal performance and usability of the Mixpanel platform across projects of all sizes.
