Join us January 15th for an AMA with Champion Achaia Walton, who will be talking about her article on Event-Based Reporting and Measuring Content Groups!
When I user segmentation and analytics report, I can't find an operator to support regular expression. The "match" operator only supports wildcard(*), that can't satisify too much business.
The issue puzzles me a lot. The RegEx is so wildely used, but why it not be used in adobe analytics(the segment in reports&analytics).
I support this idea wholeheartedly. Being relatively new to using Adobe Analytics, I was really surprised this ability was not readily available unlike other digital analytics tools.
Regex isn't difficult for beginners to learn and provides a multitude of ways to approach segments and report filters.
PLEASE PLEASE can you build this, it would greatly improve efficiency.
Use Case: I want to build a segment which groups popular holiday durations e.g. 3, 7, 14, 10 days etc,
I can do this by doing multiple containers with or's inbetween, but lets say there is 20 of these, if there was a way to regex match using something like [3|7|14|10...] for example I could do this in a fraction of the time. Exists in workbench already.
Unfortunately the 'contains any of' won't work here because putting '3, 7 14 10' also brings in 30, 33, 13 etc.
Can I add to this though that it would be good to have regex across the product, in filters, build of metrics, workspace etc, anywhere you have a equals/matches type use it should also be there.
Ben - I know you usually respond to these, could you advise where it is on the roadmap please.
Want to add another strong vote for this! I am trying to create a segment with 200 values it will be so easy to create this as a regex instead of standard interface!
I am very surprised that this was not a feature to begin with really a big miss!
