Cool, makes sense given you were working with a bunch of past data. Going forward I would recommend you try out Mixpanel though, it's much more flexible than KISSmetrics Mixpanel actually does a lot of stuff that makes it easier than excel for stuff like cohort analyses, it'spaiute flexible.

I'll take a harder look at MP - I'm all about ease of use. One of the other reasons Excel is nice is that your present self doesn't have to anticipate future data analysis needs. i.e. there was data I pulled into the analysis that I never would have set up MP or KM to track beforehand. At query-writing time I thought it might be interesting to pull in and see if there was any kind of pattern.

You can import data into Mixpanel any time you want: https://mixpanel.com/docs/api-documentation/importing-events...
