Exclude Specific Periods from Report Timeframes
is there a way in a report to remove a certain period from the timeframe? something like past 3 months, except a certain period?
Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't a direct way to remove a specific period from a timeframe in Mixpanel reports. However, there are some features that might help you achieve a similar result:1. Custom Date Ranges: You can use the custom date range selector to specify exact start and end dates for your analysis. This allows you to exclude certain periods by selecting multiple date ranges that skip over the period you want to exclude.2. Exclusion Steps: While this feature is primarily used in Funnels and Flows reports, it allows you to exclude users who performed certain actions during a specific time period. This isn't exactly the same as removing a time period, but it can help filter out data from a particular timeframe.Mixpanel Docs: Date Range provides information on how to use custom date ranges in Mixpanel reports.Mixpanel Docs: Exclusion Steps in Funnels explains how to use exclusion steps, which might be helpful in some scenarios.If you need to precisely remove a certain period from a timeframe like "past 3 months, except a certain period," you might need to create multiple reports with different date ranges and combine the results manually or use Mixpanel's API to fetch the data and process it externally.It's worth noting that the available knowledge sources don't provide a direct solution for removing a specific period from a timeframe in a single report. If this functionality is crucial for your analysis, you may want to contact Mixpanel support for more specific guidance or to request this feature.
