I'm not sure if there's a better place to report a possible bug in the reporting API so please redirect me if there is. But it seems like there is a problem with the Campaign Performance Report not aggregating the ad group data correctly. I am querying click-through rate for only one campaign ID which has four ad groups in it and I am not specifying an ad group ID. However, the value being returned is not the average of all four. The issue is the same in the native AdWords UI. I have CTR selected on the chart and it is displaying one number (5.45%). However, in the table below that chart there are four ad groups with the values 5.45%, 3.64%, 6.60%, and 0%. This does not average out to 5.45%. If I add AdGroupName to the SELECT of the API query then it returns all four values correctly. The issue is the same for any campaign and time period and any metric; the aggregated average values do not come out correctly unless I separate my query by AdGroupName and average them myself.
I have attached a screen shot of the native UI that shows the issue. I will give my access token and specific query information to someone from the AdWords team if necessary. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum" group.
