How to Use Secondary Dimensions in GA4

Viewing a secondary dimension to your GA4 report is simple. You can get to table reports for Acquisition like user traffic acquisition reports, engagement reports, or monetization reports.

You have to click on the plus icon on the right top of the primary dimension field. This will open a new tab of dropdown for the selection of secondary dimensions. Either you can click or use a search field to select one of the categories of dimensions you wanted to explore for analysis. I think to Add if you are interested in Custom Dimension you have to choose a secondary dimension under the Custom (Event-Scope) or Custom(User-Scope).

You can then select the secondary dimension you want to analyze your data and that will going to load new information on each row of data and the line item is broken down. As each primary dimension item is now broken down into secondary dimensions, the overall number of rows in the report will grow.

In the above report, I break the traffic acquisition report which has a default primary dimension of 'Default Channel Grouping' down by source/medium. I have selected countries in order to know how my acquisition channels are performing for different countries.

For another example, below screenshot, I have breakdown my events  report custom(events-scope) dimensions Page Title. This allows me to understand which Page titles are getting most number of event hits for view_item, select_item, and search_term.

For maketers or analysts the secondary dimensions must always the way to look at the reports. Only viewing out of box report is often very high level and it never offer good insights. Breaking down your data by additional dimensions can help you make more targeted marketing decisions based on granular user or traffic data.
