In the Google Analytics Explore section, which exploration technique allows customization of metrics and dimensions in table format?

The Free form exploration technique in the Google Analytics Explore section is designed to provide flexibility and customization when analyzing data in a table format. This technique allows users to select specific metrics and dimensions to create a tailored view of their data. Users can drag and drop different variables into rows and columns, which helps in building customized reports that can be formatted to highlight important insights.

This approach contrasts with the other exploration techniques, which have more structured formats and purposes. Funnel analysis, for instance, focuses on visualizing the steps users take toward a conversion but does not allow for the same degree of metric and dimension customization within a tabular layout. Similarly, path analysis visualizes the sequence of user interactions on a website, and segment overlap focuses on understanding how different user segments intersect, rather than providing a customizable table format for metrics and dimensions.
