Batch uploaded data not queryable

Hey there, I uploaded some events data from batch api couple of hours back. I received a 200 in response as well. There were 140 events to be precise but they don’t seem to be queryable in my charts. I can see the data got uploaded successfully from web portal as well by going into sources & destinations → identify & event counts but there is nothing in user look up or charts. PLEASE HELP!

Utilizing Behavioral Cohorts

Hey fellow Datamonsters, Today we want to review and provide some helpful tips to get the most out of one of our most powerful features - Cohorts. Cohorts give you the ability to group users based on a given definition. A few examples of Cohorts can be users who contain a certain property value or users who perform an event X amount of times during a specific time range. They also  make it easy to group users to use in Amplitude charts to understand how those groups of users behave!  Tip #1: Find the users that have a certain property value most recently Let’s say you want to grab the most recent subscription status of all your users. Cohorts offer a most recently feature which will grab the most recent property value from the most recent active event. If a user property value is updated without an event or at the time of an inactive event those property values are not available for the cohort to query on. The events before the update will not contain the user property, thus using most

Hi:) I would like to know what is wrong with my analysis (Cohort > life cycle)

I have created cohort from the retention chart,from the unbounded retention chart, from DAY1I have created cohort of the ones who didn’t comeback . However when I used persona chart to analyze the user behavior, 0.653% are in the 2nd week retentino, which doesn’t make any sense because this cohort it self is for the ones who never came back. I would like to know more what’s the missing point. thanks

Recieving constant fake events

Hey people, I am constantly receiving fake events (like opening app every second and spamming login buttons which definitely seams to be a bot behaviour) from someone having the same device properties and different IP address every time. Due to this, I can’t even block the events.What are the possible options with me and has anyone ever faced this issue? The events are coming from Nexus 5x, United States. Although my app is in India and that too in closed beta with 100 users only. Any help would be appreciated :)

Discrepancy when data is grouped

I generated a below retention report. Starting and returning events are same, but I am segmenting return events based on an additional attribute. The attribute only has two possible values and both of them are used as below. In the report, shouldn’t sum of the return events equal to 100%?

Persona chart top and bottom events numbers

Hi, I would like to know “Personas Chart” > top events and lower events the average # of events: for example, cluster 2 users do event “add wizard” with the average number of 2.68, then it means that 3959users *2.68 =10,610 “Add wizard” event has been fired in totalwhat does σ mean? the standard deviation?? σ how is it calculated?                                      It looks like the events are listed in the order of the bigger the σ is, the upper in the list the event is located. however, if this is standard deviation, if it’s bigger, it means that the difference from the mean is big, and that means there are some users who aren’t performing like the mean number of events. If so, I think the lesser the σis the more important that event is, because almost all the users are firing the event                                                         Also, if this is standard deviation, there’s no minus value for standard deviation, but for the event “Add wizard”, cluster 1 is showing mi

(Recommend) Does personalization work for anonymous users?

Hey @bilalmahmood  I have done some reading regarding the new product and one thing I am curious about is: does this personalization work for anonymous users? Let's say our product does not use an userID for most of our users, can we target those as well with this? Are there any trade offs for using the Amplitude Recommend for anonymous users? Thanks!

Can I offset 'Compare to past'?

Hey Amplitude community, I hope one of you have a solution to my issue here :D  Question‘Compare to past’ lets me compare to the same n days to the previous year. This comparison is date by date.As weekdays change each year, is it possible to offset this comparison, so I compare monday - friday with monday - friday previous year? ContextI’m trying to make a performance dashboard, where I’ll compare sales performance with previous year. We want to compare weekdays instead of precise dates, as that is a better explaining factor for fluctuations. Solutions I’ve tried so far2 charts: current performance vs last year performanceCurrent performance chart: daily view of last 7 days (May 12 - May 19) Last year performance chart: daily view of last 7 days, offset by 364 daysIssuesI can’t present performance in the same chart Offset needs to be changed on leap year (I think) ‘Comparing to date range ending’ on custom dateCurrent date range: last 7 days (May 12 - May 19) ‘Comparing to date range

How to monitor account growth (by license utilization) month over month

Hi Amplitude community!Your help would be greatly appreciated here! I’m trying to build a chart/dashboard that shows account growth (or decline) over a period of time but not having much luck with building this view. For context, our customers book a total number of licenses as part of their contract and I would live to monitor whether or not customers are increasing their total number of active licenses vs booked licenses over time. For example, if ACME company purchased 10,000 licenses, then I want to monitor if ACME is using more or less of those licenses month over month. Ideally, I would like to build a dashboard that shows this growth or decline in license utilization across all customers. Thanks!Jon

How far back does the User Look-up view go when filtering for events?

I’m trying to filter for some “error” events that we’ve added in, so we can find users who’ve had an error and quickly dive into their profile.  I go to the User Look-Up view and filter for the error event in mind, but nothing shows up. It’s possible this event was from a few days ago.How far back do the search results go here when filtering by event? Does it only show the last X hours? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Event count in graphs and user stream do not match

Hi all,I realized we get different numbers in the graphs which have a group by “user_property”.Look at this - Count 1 (for the last 12 months): However in the user stream we see 3 events:And also in the user_lookup:  What is happening here? Data is several hours old so caching should not be the issue?Please advice!!Thank youLukas

What shall we use to uniquely identify users (also in relation to GDPR)

Hi All!What kind of ID do you use to uniquely identify users cross-product?We want to store the Google ID (the OAuth Subject, technically speaking) of users in order to be able to identify them. Is that a problem in relation to GDPR?Would we need to ask Amplitude to delete analytics records in case the user ask us for data deletion?Could we work around that, by using a hash of the ID instead, so there is no direct connection to a (deleted) user?Thank you for suggestions!Lukas

Release notes for amplitude changes

Does Amplitude publish any informal release notes of changes that are being made to the product?  I seem to discover some (quite good) changes rather organically and it’d be great to just see what’s changing on a weekly or at least monthly basis so that I can take advantage of some of the new stuff.  The blog used to publish monthly release notes but that seemed to have stopped sometime last fall.

Difference between REVENUETOTAL(A) and "by Revenue" Chart

Hi I’ve been working on pulling revenue data and I’m a little confused by some incongruity I noticed in my charts. When I set up a chart grouped by $price and based on the TOTALREVENUE(A) I have one set of numbers for daily revenue then when I use that same user and make the chart based on “Properties: revenue” it produces another entirely different set.  From what does the difference in these two means of summarizing revenue arise?

Seeking Insights From Other Amplitude Users

Hello, my company is just starting to implement Amplitude and we were hoping to connect with others that are currently using Amplitude and have a B2B product portfolio similar to ours.  Our portfolio contains @10 products that all have some level of integration with our core product and all products are at different parts of their life cycle.  I wanted to get some insight on what you have done with Amplitude and how you are tracking usage/events across your entire portfolio which is our end goal.If anyone is interested in perhaps setting up a quick zoom call to discuss that would be much appreciated as well.

Can we backfill funnels in Amplitude?

Suppose I want to analyze the funnel between Event A → Event B → Event CSometimes, because of eventing issues or missing eventing, some users are able to get to Event C without doing Event B. In those cases, would it be possible to backfill on Event B, where we say “If a user has done Event A and Event C, assume they have also done Event B even if it is not present). In many cases, users are allowed to skip steps in the funnel, so I wanted to check if Amplitude has a way of incorporating that.

How to control for an event property in a funnel chart?

I wanted to look at the conversion between two events, say “Viewed Song” and “Played Song” (What % of users who view a particular song play it). The song_id is one of the event properties for both events, and I want to hold that constant over both events, so I’m answering “Of all the users who view a particular song, how many play that song” instead of “Of all the users who view a song, how many play any song”. Is there a way to do that in Amplitude?

Get creative with custom bracket retention!

First, a little background. If you didn’t know, Bracket Retention offers more flexibility and freedom than N-Day retention; it allows you to define your retention period. Essentially, this powerful tool can be used to analyze retention based on your product’s specific usage interval.  Bracket retention allows you to define any bracket of time you want, from a single day/week/month to multiple days/weeks/ months. On the x-axis, N-day retention maximums are 30-day, 24-week, and 12-month retention respectively. But what if you’re hoping to see beyond the default scope? Custom brackets make this possible! Say you’re looking to see weekly retention for the entire year. Using weekly granularity, you can create custom brackets for all 52 weeks of the year:  Amplitude will conveniently save your custom brackets to the metrics module. That way you can easily reference the same 52-week bracket again for future retention charts. How have you tried using custom brackets in your analysis?
