Setting an Exclusive 7-Day Window for Data Analysis

·Dec 11, 2025 12:47 AM·

Is there a way to set a window that isnt inclusive of the first 7 days, but inclusive after that? The window Id like to set is AFTER 7 days, not within.

There isn’t a single “AFTER 7 days only” toggle mentioned in the docs, but you can approximate this depending on which report you’re using:
1. Retention report
Use Custom Retention Brackets and define your first bucket to start at day 8 (or week 2, etc.), so you only look at users who return after the first 7 days. For example, you could define brackets like:
- Days 8–14 - Days 15–30
Anyone who comes back in days 0–7 simply won’t be counted in those later buckets. [Custom brackets]
You can combine this with On or After retention criteria if you care about “ever came back in that window or later,” but the docs don’t show a way to exclude the first 7 days other than by how you define the brackets. [Retention criteria]
2. Funnels
Funnels only let you set a maximum conversion window (e.g., 30 days from step 1), not “only count conversions that happen after 7 days.” [Funnels conversion window] The knowledge sources don’t describe a built‑in way to enforce a minimum time delay between steps.
So: in Retention you can effectively analyze “after 7 days” by starting your first custom bracket at day 8; in Funnels there’s no documented way to enforce “after 7 days” as a lower bound.
kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
