05/22/2023, 10:40 AMIs there a way to reference the timestamp that the user gets bucketed into the experiment in a metric’s SQL?
I’ve seen one can include the start/end date of the experiment with SQL template variables, though this is obviously not the same thing…

Hi Callum, what is the use case for this?

05/22/2023, 10:48 AMgeneral use case: I want to create calculation denominators that help to exclude certain users from metrics depending on their status as at the point of their bucketing. And i need to do this at a metric level, so applying segments at an experiment level is not helpful to me

To make sure I understand, for the denominator, you only want to include users who are in the experiment during their 7th post-registration day. And you want the numerator to only include metric values from those users. Is that right?
