Hi Ilya L., Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. In case AI cannot answer your question, feel free to reach out to Mixpanel support at mixpanel.com/get-support.

I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not provide explicit instructions or a built-in method in Mixpanel to set up a widget that displays the date of the latest event of any type per user. While Mixpanel offers advanced measurements, behavioral properties, and aggregation options (such as "Aggregate Property per User" for event properties), there is no mention of a feature or report that directly surfaces the most recent event date for each user as a widget or standard report option in the provided documentation.If you need to perform this analysis, you may need to use custom queries or external data processing, but the knowledge sources above do not detail how to accomplish this within Mixpanel's UI or reporting tools.

You can achieve this in Mixpanel using a custom JQL (JavaScript Query Language) query. The JQL API allows you to process events and group them by user to find the latest event date for each user.Here’s how you can do it using the groupByUser transformation, which guarantees that all events for a user are processed in temporal order. The following example returns, for each user, the timestamp of their most recent event: LBKSfunction main() { return Events({ from_date: "YYYY-MM-DD", to_date: "YYYY-MM-DD" }) .groupByUser(function(state, events) { // state will hold the latest timestamp seen so far state = state || 0; for (var i = 0; i < events.length; ++i) { if (events[i].time > state) { state = events[i].time; } } return state; }); }LBKS- Replace the from_date and to_date with your desired date range.
- The result will be a list of objects, each with a user’s distinct_id and the timestamp of their latest event.You can then use this data to create a widget or visualization in your dashboard, depending on your workflow and how you want to present the results.This approach leverages Mixpanel’s JQL capabilities, which are designed for custom aggregations and user-level analysis like this Docs / Reports / Apps / Transformations.If you need to display this as a widget in the Mixpanel UI, you would need to export the results and use a custom dashboard or use the JQL app if available in your Mixpanel plan. The knowledge sources do not mention a built-in widget for this specific use case, but JQL provides the flexibility to compute it.

To display the date of the latest event of any type per user in a live, always-updating way, Mixpanel’s standard UI does not provide a built-in widget for this specific use case according to the knowledge sources. However, you can achieve this using a JQL (JavaScript Query Language) query, which allows for flexible, custom aggregations.Key points from the knowledge sources:Example JQL Query:Limitations: - The knowledge sources do not mention a way to create a live-updating widget in the Mixpanel UI that automatically runs this JQL and displays the results as a dashboard card. - JQL queries can be run via the API or JQL app, but for a true “live” widget, you may need to automate the query and display the results externally.Summary: You can get the latest event date per user using a JQL query without specifying to_date, but the knowledge sources do not describe a built-in, always-live widget for this in the Mixpanel UI. You may need to use the JQL API and external visualization for a fully live experience (Passing Parameters to a Query).

JQL (JavaScript Query Language) in Mixpanel is a powerful tool for creating custom queries and analyses, but it is not designed for non-programmers or as a no-code/low-code solution. JQL requires writing JavaScript code to define queries, and Mixpanel explicitly states that it is a self-service tool with no support for writing custom JQL queries. If you do not have programming skills, JQL will likely be challenging to use for creating custom events or analyses Docs / Reports / Apps / JQL.For non-technical users, Mixpanel provides other features such as the visual event builder, templates, and standard reports, which are more accessible and do not require coding. These tools are designed to help you create custom events and analyze data without programming knowledge.In summary: JQL is not intended for users without programming skills. If you need to create custom events or analyses and do not have coding experience, it is recommended to use Mixpanel’s built-in visual tools instead.

Based on the knowledge sources provided, Mixpanel’s standard no-code UI does not offer a built-in widget or direct, no-code solution to display the last event date per user or the last session date per user. While Mixpanel’s Insights and Sessions features allow you to analyze session metrics (such as total sessions, average session length, and session breakdowns), and you can break down events by properties, there is no mention of a report or widget that lists each user with their most recent event or session date in a no-code fashion.The closest available options in the UI are: - Session Reports: You can analyze session metrics like total sessions over time, average session length per user, and session duration breakdowns. However, these do not provide a per-user “last session date” list—rather, they aggregate or average across users (Session Controls in Reports). - User Profile Page: You can view individual user activity, including recent events and sessions, by navigating to a user’s profile. But this is on a per-user basis, not as a bulk report or widget (Session Replay).Summary: There is no no-code solution or built-in widget in Mixpanel’s UI, according to the knowledge sources, that displays the last event date or last session date per user in a list or table format. If you require this functionality, it may require custom queries (such as JQL) or exporting data for external processing, both of which are not no-code solutions.If you need further assistance, you may want to reach out to Mixpanel support or check for updates, as this feature is not documented in the current knowledge sources.
