No, <not set> and <empty> are not the same thing in Mixpanel. Let me explain the difference based on the information provided in the knowledge sources: 1. <not set> (also referred to as "undefined" or "null"): This refers to cases where a property value is not set or is missing for an event. It can occur when: - A property you're segmenting by isn't always sent with the event you're analyzing. - When segmenting by a User Profile property, and some profiles don't have that property or the event was triggered by a user without a User Profile. - For geolocation data, when the user's IP couldn't be mapped to a location or wasn't included in the request. Data Type Documentation provides more details on this.2. <empty> (also referred to as "empty string"): This refers to a string with a length of zero, meaning there are no characters or symbols. It happens when a property is sent with a value of "". Empty strings are parsed as (empty string) in the Mixpanel UI. This information is also found in the Data Type Documentation.In summary, <not set> indicates that a property value is missing or undefined, while <empty> represents a property that has been set to an empty string value.
