If I download the Search_Query_Performance report for YESTERDAY without the 
ConversionTypeName and ConversionCategoryName fields I get a large list of 
items as expected. If I then download the same report with those 2 columns, 
and removing the incompatible columns I get a much smaller list...again as 
expected.

However, the smaller list is exactly the same as the subset of rows in the 
first report that have at least 1 Conversion. I don't understand why there 
is a need to force this to be two report downloads, where is the 
incompatibility? The way it is now, I have to recombine, basically, data you 
already have. But there isn't a good key to use, I have to use a unique key 
that is Date+AdGroupID+CampaignId+KeywordId+Device+AdNetwork2+Query  which 
is an ugly key to use. However, it does work and I can apply TypeName and 
CategoryName to rows in the Search Query Report. Which makes me think that 
the source could as well, and that would be a much more appropriate place to 
do that.

I've just done this for Search Query, my guess is all the reports have a 
similar problem. Download the full report, download the report with 
conversion fields, combine the data using an ugly unique key.  I don't 
understand why there is such complexity. Conversion data (cost, conversions, 
value, etc) is in the original report, why isn't conversion descriptive 
data?
