As you can see, if I add returning visitor dimension, it is not going to display figures, so how can I make use “returning visitor” to filter the new visitor since the Description of this is A new or returning visitor listed in [https://help.piwik.pro/support/reports/metrics-dimensions/](https://help.piwik.pro/support/reports/metrics-dimensions/)

In Piwik PRO there’s no metric like “New visitors”, instead Returning visitor dimension should be used in combination with Visitors metric.  
You can approach that in a few ways:

1. Use “Returning visitor” dimension and “Visitors” metric in one report.
2. Use a segment or filter in the report: Returning visitor = New - report will show data only for new visitors. The report should include the Visitors metric to show the number of new ones.
3. Use segments comparison for the report with Visitors metric, where:  
a. Segment 1 is for new visitors (Returning visitor = New)  
b. Segment 2 is for returning visitors (Returning visitor = Returning)
