Hi Vanessa, Destination URLs can be set at either the criteria or the Ad level. You'll need to join from Ad Performance Report to Criteria Performance Report (on keywordId, keywordId = criteriaId). If there is no URL set for the criteria, the Ad's destination URL is used. Please note that Destination URL is an attribute, which means that it will return the current value, not the value during the timeframe the report was run. You can use the Destination URL report to compare the performance of URLs over a timeframe, but it cannot be tied back to ads and criteria in the same way as joining Ads to Criteria.
