Hi!
I have data containing userid and sessionid (each session can be several events). I would like to visualize how many sessions each user has participated in and show in a histogram something like this:
Is this possible? I have not been able to figure it out using the documentations

Hi @Matjo,
Could you clarify, because it is not 100% clear from your example graph.
Do you want to see either:
1. the number of session for each user? in other words, each bar is a user and the length of the bar is the number of sessions.
2. the frequency of sessions-per user? in other words, each bar is the number of sessions (e.g. 1-\>n) and the length of the bar is the number of users who had that number of sessions.
?

Hi Thomas!
What I want to see is the distribution of sessions among the users. The count of how many users have had 1 session, how many have had 2, 3 or 4 and more. This is so that I visualize the number of returning users.
I hope the clarifies things if not let me know and I will try and explain it in more detail.
Best regards,
Mattias

@thomasneirynck
Is there any more information that you would need?
