How do I disregard traffic where the visitor has done a specific action in Google Analytics?

Question

Essentially, I want all visitors that follow this specific "funnel" to be ignored in the stats:

I'd prefer to have this as a separate view so that I can compare stats with and without the aforementioned users.

Is this possible with Google Analytics?

Thanks.

When the use clicks the link, do you send an "event"? Or is there a specific page they visit afterwards? — Stephen Ostermiller, Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 10:05
@StephenOstermiller It's not set up yet, but I'd send an event. — InanisAtheos, Commented Mar 15, 2017 at 7:17

Once a user finished your funnel you can trigger an event and then create a view with a filter, based on this event. Example:

Filters discard data as it comes in. Doing this would prevent seeing any traffic that doesn't match the filter. I'd recommend a "segment" instead.

@Stephen Ostermiller, Patrick said he wants a separate view. Creating a separate view and using segment in it just doesn't make any sense :-)

I've been so crazy busy that this task has falled so far down the list of priorities that it's no longer even on it. I will thusly set this as answered as I'm sure it will work :)
