Event histogram by time of day

I’m surprised I couldn’t find quite a basic function of creating a histogram for my events by the time they fired during the day - even hourly bins would be extremely helpful. Did I miss something, or it is impossible to create such chart yet?

You finishes read that article, and continue scrolling, then you see photo gallery in section called “photos” How to track amount time spent on section Announcement, just Announcement without including time spent on Photos ? Is there a way to trigger to start the tracker just by hovering mouse pointer into a section or just a touch on it without click any button/event

(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 add members to a Dynamic Cohort?

Hi, I apologise if this is a trivial question but I am new to amplitude and the community. I have set up a dynamic cohort based on a specific event, however this event was only recently added to our product, and as such I have a large number of users who were never given the option to perform this event in the past. For the purposes of segmentation, I have manually atirbuted the correct cohorts to these historic users, and was hoping to be able to add them to the dynamic cohort which will now be my ground truth. I know how to create a cohort based on a csv list, but cannot find a way to add these users to the dynamic cohort. Is there anything I can do to join them? or am I stuck with broken data for all eternity?Thank you!

Can I suppress events before a particular date?

We recently realized that a new event that we were sending to Amplitude had some errors, and we wanted to suppress this data from showing up till 5/15. The data after 5/15 is okay, so ideally, we’d like there to be 0 events before 5/15 for a particular event and all events after 5/15. Can this be done in Amplitude?

On the home page of my website, we ask for zip code, name and email ID of the user.  Under which taxonomy should I pass the input value by the users for these fields. Please know that there can be a lot of values for these fields.  Also, once the values are passed, how can I download the list of these values to analyse it?

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

Add list of values to event property

Hi there, I have a long list (80-100) of various product IDs that I want to add to various events. The IDs don’t have a common category, so usually I have to add them manually. I’ve read posts about various matching (I’m new to using query and regex), so I hope Amplitude has some way for me to add all IDs to the property, by a simple copy-paste. Usually when adding manually, it’ll look like the following image. I’ve tried adding the IDs as a single string, but no matter which sort of matching I’m using, I’m getting 0 event hits. Is there a smart way to do this?  NB: ‘contains’ is dangerous to use as we have IDs (e.g. 1234) on the list, that also matches IDs (e.g. 12345 or 12346) outside the list.

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?

Data Discrepancy

We have an amplitude connector extracting data from our app. The data is available on the amplitude dashboard and also on our snowflake api. We compared the data loaded via the amplitude connector to snowflake with that in the amplitude dashboard and we are seeing differences in the sessions measure. Also the session_id is not converting to an accurate timestamp of the relevant session.

Issues using the Revenue LTV REST Endpoint

I’m currently trying to pull revenue data for specific users out of Amplitude using the Revenue LTV endpoint but getting some unexpected behavior.Before I even added a segment definition to define specific users in the request I wanted to understand its behavior and I’m not getting the results I’d expect.GET https://amplitude.com/api/2/revenue/ltv?start=20210415&end=20210422&m=2&i=1Is the request I’m making. From the documentation I thought this would be the daily (i=1) TOTAL REVENUE (m=2) of our Users. However my response is essentially empty data:{    "data": {        "series": [            {                "combined": {                    "count": 0,                    "paid": 0,                    "r1d": 0,                    "r2d": 0,                    "r3d": 0,                    "r4d": 0,                    "r5d": 0,                     ….This continues for every day in the range.
