Heat Map Cohort Analysis Subtotals and Percentages

Hi Dojo,

Can you guys explain to me how to transform this cohort heat map (attachment 1) to a heatmap with average percentage retention for each time period (months in my case) across the x axis and cohort totals in the beginning of each period across the y-axis (attachment 2)?

It would be a lot easier just to add subtotals for retention and users with a few lines of code in Python or even Excel. I am truly at a loss here. Is there a way to do it directly in Analyzer Beast mode?

Heat maps do not seem to have a subtotals or totals functionality. I'd like to share it across the organization in a readable way like in attachment 2 that could be reproduced as data gets updated so I won't have to run it offline in Python every time. What do I do?

is your % based on the number of people on day x vs number of people on day 0?

if yes then use a lag function. create a beast mode, "day 5"

-- sum activity on day 5 of the cohort

sum(case when date_diff(current_date, cohort_start_date) = 5 then number_active end)

-- sum activity on day 0 of the cohort

lag(sum(case when current_date = cohort start_date_ then number_active), 5) over (partition by cohort_start_date order by current_date)

i did a tutorial on using LAG / LEAD functions here.

Hope that helps! No... you cannot use a pivot table for this.

OOOPS!! ERROR

-- sum activity on day 5 of the cohort
sum(case when date_diff(activity_date, cohort_start_date) = 5 then number_active end)/
-- sum activity on day 0 of the cohort
sum(sum(case when activity_date = cohort start_date_ then number_active)) over (partition by cohort_start_date)

you may be able to do this without the LAG() function

Thanks!

I will ask our CRM to enable window functions and give it a shot. However, the heat map card functionality is limited, and I don't think I will be able to include totals because you can only use 3 columns for the card.
