Hi Greg, Looking into this, the issue I understand you to be describing is that ConversionTypeName is lower case for the "calls from ads", however this appears to be the only case?
We don't explicitly guarantee that the casing of the returned items will be the same. Can you work around the issue with a case insensitive matching strategy? I see only 2 ConversionTypeNames returned in the reports you suggested. Can you provide a specific example where this would causes errors? Regards, - Paul, AdWords API Team.
