To answer your question about measuring the time it takes for a user to perform an event and then perform another event 5 times, you can use Mixpanel's Funnels report with the Time to Convert and Frequency features. Here's how you can approach this: 1. First, use the Funnels report to set up your event sequence.2. Then, utilize the Time to Convert feature to measure the time between events.3. Finally, use the Frequency feature to count the number of times the second event occurs.Let's break this down: 1. Set up your funnel with the two events you're interested in.2. Use the Time to Convert breakdown to see the distribution of time users took between the two steps in the funnel. As mentioned in the Funnels documentation: "Use the Time to Convert breakdown to see a distribution of time users took between any two steps in the funnel or all steps."3. To count the number of times the second event occurs (in your case, 5 times), you can use the Frequency feature. According to the Funnels documentation: "Use the Frequency per User breakdown to see the number of times users performed an event between any two funnel steps."You can set up the frequency to look for users who performed the second event at least 5 times.Keep in mind that the maximum conversion window for a funnel is 366 days, as stated in the Funnels documentation: "The maximum amount of time you can choose for the conversion window is 366 days, or otherwise equivalent (12 months, 52 weeks, etc)."By combining these features, you should be able to measure how long it takes users to perform the first event and then perform the second event 5 times within the conversion window you set.

I understand you want to know the frequency of the last step in your funnel. Mixpanel's Funnels report offers a feature that can help you with this specific scenario. Let me explain how you can achieve this: You can use the Frequency per User breakdown in the Funnels report to measure the number of times users performed the last event in your funnel. According to the Funnels documentation: "To measure the frequency of a particular funnel step between that step and the next one, use Selected Step from the event selection in the Frequency per user breakdown. If the user does not do the step again before the next one the frequency will be 0."This means you can set up your funnel with the desired steps, and then use the Frequency per User breakdown to focus on the last step. Here's how you can do it: 1. Set up your funnel with all the necessary steps. 2. In the Frequency per User breakdown, select the last step of your funnel. 3. Choose "Selected Step" as the event for frequency measurement.This will show you the distribution of how many times users performed the last step of your funnel after completing the previous steps.It's important to note that the frequency count will only include events that occur after the user has entered the funnel and completed the previous steps. The event that originally satisfied the funnel definition doesn't count towards this frequency.Remember, as mentioned in the documentation: "Note: The frequency breakdown will only count the events in between the chosen range. The event that original satisfied the funnel definition does not count towards the frequency between steps."This approach should give you the insight you're looking for regarding the frequency of the last step in your funnel.

To answer your question about what frequency is being counted when you choose "Selected Step" and "Between funnel steps 2-> 3" in Mixpanel's Funnels report, let's refer to the relevant documentation.According to the Funnels documentation: "To measure the frequency of a particular funnel step between that step and the next one, use Selected Step from the event selection in the Frequency per user breakdown. If the user does not do the step again before the next one the frequency will be 0."In your specific case, when you choose "Selected Step" and "Between funnel steps 2-> 3", Mixpanel is counting the frequency of the selected step (Step 2) occurring between Steps 2 and 3 of your funnel. Here's what this means: 1. It's counting how many times users performed Step 2 again after they've already completed it once to enter the funnel, but before they complete Step 3.2. The original event that satisfied Step 2 in the funnel is not counted in this frequency. As the documentation states: "Note: The frequency breakdown will only count the events in between the chosen range. The event that original satisfied the funnel definition does not count towards the frequency between steps."3. If a user doesn't perform Step 2 again before completing Step 3, their frequency will be 0.For example, if your funnel steps are: 1. Sign Up 2. Add to Cart 3. PurchaseAnd you choose "Selected Step" for "Add to Cart" between steps 2-> 3, you're measuring how many times users added items to their cart after their initial "Add to Cart" action but before making a purchase.This feature allows you to understand user behavior between funnel steps, such as whether users are adding multiple items to their cart before purchasing or if they're repeatedly performing certain actions before moving to the next step in your funnel.
