Filtering values (higher or lower than threshold)

Hi there, 

 

I have a freeform table with unique visitor as a metric and dimension (evar) as a row, I'd like to exclude all rows with UVs <5000. when I try to build that segment through the filter configuration located at the top of the panel, "unique visitor" is not an available option in metric list, and when I selected "visits" as an alternative (due to it's similarity) and build a filter out of it,  the table does not return any results. how can I fix this?

You can't really do this... 

 

Someone had an almost identical question the other day: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-analytics-questions/segment-to-display-only-pages-with-more-than-100-pageviews/m-p/613543

 

Basically, the best I could do was suggest creating a calculated metric using the IF function in conjunction with the Less Than and Equal To / Greater Than and Equal To functions.

 

The rows will still show, but anything outside of your threshold will show 0 instead of the metric value.

 

 

Segments are Hit, Visit or Visitor based, (i.e. Hits that are X, Visits that contain Y OR a an individual user that has done something Z) so you cannot segment by pages that have X Visitors... it's just not how segment were designed to work.

Thanks, this is a half-way solution though, because it does not filter out the rows. It is quite surprising that how such a basic filtering rule is not available/applicable as a built-in function in Adobe!!

Agreed.. Given the number of this type of request I think I should file an idea.

I have posted an idea, feel free to add comments/additions to how you would like it to work, and upvote it so that maybe it will get picked up to work on:
