Hi, just wanted to follow up on this.
A reporting use case that we encounter quite frequently is to aggregate metrics for a specific set of campaigns of an account (e.g. "How are all my campaigns for product X doing?"). With the Adwords API, we can use the campaign report, set up appropriate filters and use the summary row of the report directly. As Francis mentions, the complexity and feasibility of calculating totals on our end depends a lot on the chosen metrics. While it's simple to aggregate clicks, I wouldn't know how to calculate the total "Search lost absolute top impression share" for a subset of campaigns of an account—I'd assume it's weighted by impressions, but I don't think this is documented anywhere. Thus, having a summary row available in the response of the GoogleAdsService.Search endpoint is essential for us.
