Create Count Of Users That Opened At Least One Ticket
AnsweredHello
I am sure this is a result of it being Friday afternoon but can't see a way to create the following report.
I am creating an end of year report and including how many unique users we supported over last year.
I am trying to create a report with a count of how many users opened at least one support ticket.
That way can add the count value to a dashboard which I am using to create the report.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Russell,
I've run into this request before and, believe it or not, the MAQL for generating this kind of metric is pretty simple. Your metric should look something like:
SELECT COUNT(Users, Ticket Id) WHERE Ticket Status <> Deleted AND User Active = true
In plain English this is saying, "count the unique number of users from the frame of reference of the Ticket dataset (meaning there needs to be a ticket requested to include that user), excluding users who have submitted only deleted tickets, and only including users who have not been deleted."
If you're new to creating metrics I'd recommend reviewing the following article: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/222794107-Creating-custom-metrics-in-Insights.
Happy reporting!

Any help or advice that you are able to give would be great..

When creating custom metrics you cannot type the attribute values 'deleted' and 'true'. You must also use the element select tool just as you did with the elements themselves. Look under the 'attribute values' section.

Hello
Thank you both for your help. That solved the issue and now adding into my report etc.
Once again thank you for your help.

The advice from Joseph lists to use the 'users' attribute.
The example from Russell shows he is using '# users' metric.
Whilst I can understand the attribute values from this and another explanation by Joseph (thanks again) - I cannot get it to work with # users.
I cannot see 'users' either, i can see 'user' as a selectable attribute.
The results i am getting are the number of unique users who opened at least 1 ticket?
some of the users that I get definitely opened more than 1, but show as 1.
Is it because I used the 'user' attribute?

Hi Gadi! It looks like there was a typo in Joseph's comment. Sorry about that!
You figured it out - the attribute is called User, while the metric is called # Users. In this context, you need the User attribute.
The metric should look like this in the metric editor:
I created this metric in a test account, and it showed me the number of unique users who created at least one ticket during the reporting period (set by a (Ticket Created) date range).
Hope this helps!

This thread is brilliant!
What is your suggestions to have the amount of tickets opened from every user in a specific amount of time?
Thanks :)
