To build a report based on an event using only the latest event of an event series in Mixpanel, you can use the "Borrowed Properties" feature. This allows you to reference properties from the most recent occurrence of a specific event within a 7-day lookback window. Here's how you can do it:1. Create a borrowed property: - This can only be done by Admin or Owner roles - There's a limit of 20 borrowed properties per project2. Use the borrowed property in your report: - Once created, the borrowed property can be used like any other custom property - It will automatically pull data from the most recent event in the 7-day lookback period3. Build your report: - Use the borrowed property in your Insights or other Mixpanel reports - This will ensure you're only using data from the latest event in the seriesIt's important to note that if the most recent event occurred more than 7 days ago, the borrowed property will return "(not set)".For a more detailed explanation and example, you can refer to the Mixpanel documentation on Borrowed Properties.Remember that if you need to use the borrowed property with other functions, you'll need to create a separate custom property using the borrowed property first.

To use a 'Date' property instead of the 'Time' property as the x-axis in a Mixpanel report, you can follow these steps:1. When creating your report, look for the "Breakdown" option in the query builder.2. Click on the "Breakdown" button and search for your custom 'Date' property in the dropdown menu.3. Select your 'Date' property as the breakdown.4. In the visualization settings, you should be able to select this 'Date' property as the x-axis for your chart.It's important to note that Mixpanel supports 'Date' as one of its five primary data types for properties Mixpanel Data Model. When using a 'Date' property, Mixpanel recommends using an ISO-formatted date string (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) for optimal use in reports Manage Timezones for Projects.If you're having trouble finding or using your 'Date' property, make sure it's properly formatted and ingested into Mixpanel. Also, keep in mind that the dropdown menus only show events/event properties that were ingested within the last 30 days. If your 'Date' property hasn't been ingested recently, you may need to type its exact name in the search bar Advanced Filter & Breakdown Usage.If you're still unable to use your 'Date' property as desired, it might be worth checking with your Mixpanel admin to ensure the property is set up correctly and that you have the necessary permissions to use it in reports.
