I have a metric A that is page views(unique users) I have some filters so we exclude a couple of pages using the Current URL and use these two cohorts. What I’m trying to do is get a percentage of engaged users by dividing A by the total of those two cohorts. If I add the metrics of unique users of those two cohorts and then a formula to do the division Mixpanel throws away my filter that excludes those pages we don’t want to count. There must be some way around this. Any ideas?
Hi Scott- Julianne from Mixpanel Support here. It sounds like you are adding the cohort as a metric to be graphed when you see the global filters removed. If so, that is the epected behavior since it isn't possible to apply filters to a cohort graphed over time. Instead, you can add the filters as inline filters on the 'Page View' metric. This allows the filters to be applied to that event without affecting the cohorts. Inline Attachment: image.png Would that work for your use case?
I get it. The code isn’t smart enough to get the url filter should apply to the page views and that the cohort filter should apply to the people in the metric.
Correct- global filters are expected to be applied to all of the metrics on a report. This means it isn't able to determine that those filters should only apply to one metric.
