Ray, I got your point but if we exclude the missing converted GCLIDs then the number of leads generated in our system does not math the total converted clicks shown by Google Adwords in UI and API.Our count of leads is less then what Google show.One other thing that i noticed that if we upload an offline conversion for the missing GCLID, Google associate it with some click and the number of converted clicks increase this means that the click was not invalid.
I have run the ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT for the same date and it shows only 36 Invalid clicks and the report if have send to you we have 210 missing GCLIDs .Plus we have 1938 clicks in the Click Performance Report and 1871 clicks in the ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT for the same date and account.I think there are some data issues in the Click Performance Report.We have other issue posted here and not fixed yet. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/adwords-api/CLICK_PERFORMANCE_REPORT|sort:relevance|spell:true/adwords-api/7CuBOUf4HSQ/bRiXdihw1eEJ Can you clarify why this is happening?
