Here is the general set up in app/controller/campaigns
==============
 if response and response.rval and response.rval.entries
      campaigns = response.rval.entries
      campaigns.each do |campaign|
        campaign_data =
Campaign.find_or_initialize_by_campaign_id(campaign.id)

        campaign_data.campaign_id         = campaign.id.to_i
        campaign_data.name                = campaign.name
        campaign_data.budget              = campaign.budget.amount
        #campaign_data.impression_share   =
        #campaign_data.quality_lost_share =

        campaign_data.status              = campaign.status
        campaign_data.clicks              =
campaign.campaignStats.clicks
        campaign_data.impressions         =
campaign.campaignStats.impressions
        campaign_data.click_through_rate  = campaign.campaignStats.ctr
        campaign_data.cost_per_click      =
campaign.campaignStats.averageCpc
        campaign_data.cost                =
campaign.campaignStats.cost
        campaign_data.bid_position        =
campaign.campaignStats.averagePosition
        campaign_data.leads               =
campaign.campaignStats.conversions
        campaign_data.cost_per_lead       =
campaign.campaignStats.costPerConversion
        campaign_data.conversion_rate     =
campaign.campaignStats.conversionRate
=================================================================

Specifically, if I have

              "  campaign_data.budget              =
campaign.budget.amount "

in app/views/campaigns/index.html.erb
              "  <td><%=h number_to_currency(campaign.budget) %>/day</
td>  "
for the table. Fro calling the method in my views i have
              "  <%= link_to "load campaigns",
get_campaigns_campaigns_path(:campaign_id => 0)  %>  "


The problem is that it seems like the micro/millions format is default
and I can't figure out how to change it via the API.

For example if
                 "   campaign_data.budget              =
campaign.budget.amount.to_f   "
I get exception
                 "  undefined method `to_f' for
#<AdWords::V201008::CampaignService::Money:0x104ee95f8   "

Same error with ".to_d". If I try ".to_s" or append nothing to
"campaign.budget.amount" I still get millions.
