To track weekly active users (WAU) for users who performed both event1 AND event2, you'll need to use a custom event in Mixpanel. The standard WAU metric tracks users who performed any of the specified events (OR logic), but we can create a custom event to capture users who did both events within a week.Here's how you can do this: 1. First, create a custom event that combines event1 and event2: Go to Lexicon and create a new custom event. Let's call it "Event1_AND_Event2". Define this custom event to include both event1 and event2.2. Once you've created this custom event, you can use it in your Insights report to track WAU: - Create a new Insights report - Select your new custom event "Event1_AND_Event2" - In the measurement dropdown, choose "Weekly Active Users (WAU)" - Set your desired time rangeThis approach will give you the count of users who performed both event1 and event2 within a 7-day rolling window.Remember that the WAU metric, as explained in the Mixpanel documentation, counts "The number of users who performed [event] within the last 7 days."By using a custom event that requires both event1 and event2 to occur, you're effectively tracking users who have done both events within the same 7-day period.If you need more detailed analysis or have specific timing requirements between the two events, you might need to use more advanced features or consider exporting the data for custom analysis.
