These two wildcards can be used in conjunction with one another. For example ‘Australia ? * New Zealand’ is a way of selecting people who have been to Australia and then had at least one holiday before a holiday to New Zealand.
The final wildcard is the ‘=’ wildcard. This is used to specify that this item in the pattern matches the previous one. This can be a useful shorthand way of writing patterns with fixed cyprus mobile number values that you might then want to change later (e.g. Australia = = = is Australia followed by three of the same – but it is quicker to edit one box to change to say New Zealand if you wanted to look at different destinations).
However, by a ‘?’ wildcard, or just on its own (= as the first item in a pattern is taken to match any item). So, the example pattern below would enable us to segment people by the longest consecutive sequence of identical destinations that they have visited. In this instance, since I know the maximum number of bookings any person on our test system has had is eight, this is the longest possible sequence. The user interface has a shortcut for defining patterns that follow the construction shown below.

Adding the expression to a cube allows us to see all our customers and their longest sequences. I have then selected those with eight, and then shown the bookings made by those people (which must all necessarily be the same). This shows just three of the destinations have been visited eight times consecutively by any of our customers.
