Explanation: Not every metric can be combined with every dimension. Each dimension and metric has a scope: users, sessions, or actions. It only makes sense to combine dimensions and metrics that share the same scope. For example, Sessions is a session-based metric so it can only be used with session-level dimensions like Source or City. It would not be logical to combine Sessions with an action-level (or, hit-level) dimension like Page.
