Measuring Event A Occurrences Before Converting on Event B

To measure the number of times Event A happens before converting on Event B in Mixpanel, you should use a behavioral property in a Funnels report. Specifically, you can use the "Frequency per User" behavioral property to count how many times users performed Event A between two funnel steps (e.g., between Step 1: Event A and Step 2: Event B).Here’s how you can do it: 1. Create a Funnel with Step 1 as Event A and Step 2 as Event B. 2. In the funnel settings, add a behavioral property: - Select "Frequency per User." - Choose Event A as the event to count. - Specify the range as between Step 1 and Step 2. 3. The behavioral property will count the number of times Event A occurs between the initial Event A (that started the funnel) and the conversion on Event B. The event that originally satisfied the funnel definition (the first Event A) does not count towards the behavioral property; only additional occurrences between the steps are counted.For example: - If a user does: Event A → Event A → Event B, the frequency will be "1 time" (the second Event A between the first Event A and Event B). - If a user does: Event A → Event B, the frequency will be "0 times" (no additional Event A between the steps).This allows you to segment or break down your funnel by how many times Event A was performed before converting on Event B, helping you analyze user behavior in detail Behavioral Properties in Funnels.For more details, see the documentation on Behavioral Properties.
