When you create a blank Exploration, you will see a Variables column in the left. Here you can select your the Dimensions and Metrics you want to use for your exploration.

Lets take an example where you want to find out the Profile ID of users who watched videos more than 75% of the play time.

First we need to add the correct Dimensions and Metrics we want to use.

Step 1: Click on Dimensions and select the following Dimensions from the list and click on Import.

By doing just this, we are now seeing data on our generated Table. This table is showing all the Events captured by GA via the App and their respective Labels. Each rows show a profile ID that created that Event.

However, we are interested in only seeing events where the user has watched a specific video more that 75% of the play time. So we need to add a filter to this table.

Step 4: Under the settings section, scroll down to Filters and create a new Filter.
