Sai, I did *post my question <https://www.en.advertisercommunity.com/t5/Performance-Optimization/How-much-history-of-quot-Search-top-impression-rate-quot-is/td-p/1945487>* in that forum, and got an anwer from a Gold Product Expert, claiming he does not know how Google implented this.He suspects Google is still executing this conversion.
I do think only Google can answer my question. Unfortunately, nobody from Google felt obliged to answer. Do you see any other way to retrieve this answer? Or find a way to ask this to the product team yourself? Our use case: Previously AvgPos is (partly) used for qualifications of campaigns and accounts, based on experience and -more important- years of data, in some cases dating all the way back to 2002 (!). Anyway, we have to migrate to the new metrics. Now we have little experience, and need as much data as available. But it may be a bit to much for our server (and Googles servers) to obtain all data since -say- 2014 again. So we need a statement on the oldest date. Like *"These metrics first became available for then-whitelisted accounts in Liechtenstein, and you can find no older date than July 1st 2017."* Thanks for understanding!
